In my dreams
In my genius
You are the one work of promise
I made you
Then you made me
Complete
In my grace
In my prescience
I gave you life
To live in my presence
I made you
Then you made me
Complete
And if I gave you wings
And a voice that sings
I did it all just for me
And if I gave you love
It was over and above
All courtesy
In my search for pride and power
I reached for you every hour
I moulded you from lifeless clay
One shady day
Then I touched your sightless eyes
They opened like the sunrise
I wrenched a life from the clay
That shady day
If we should ever reach the sun
I am the only one
Who touched it twice
And if I should ever die
You are the reason why
The one life could suffice

Why, joanne, your avatar is positively stunning.
I think of my precious child, now 21, when I read this. Hits home eloquently. Expresses my feelings exactly. Comforting the last line: "You are the reason why / The one life would suffice." Thanks for sharing.
Well the old one keeps disappearing so I just picked the first red head in the gallery provided by A2k. Plus it was raining all day today.
Dupre it reminds me of my child as well.
Beautiful, and very touching. Thank you!
Lovely poem Edgar.
I LOVE the last stanza!
