Another song for Jay

/ Kait King


There’s a part of me
that will always go on
I’ve shared this with our Mother Earth
She called him my son
There’s nothing so wild
as the ride that we’re on
mother and child
a bond
we hold on
And there you were
with paintbrush eyelashes
A baby blue blanket
and everything about you was so small
And here you are
with a shy tattoo on you
An eye, ear, lip piercing
And everything about you now is tall
There’s all of you
that makes me smile
When you hug me so big and
hang around for a while
There’s you and me and then
everybody else
I never knew that it would be you
to teach me about myself

I love you Jay 🙂 xxx

  3. This is such a beautiful, tender poem to and about your son, Kait. Your love for him comes across in every word, every line. You are very blessed to have such a good relationship with him and that you are able to keep in touch with him. I am very happy for you both.

    I have two adult children with their own children, who I adore. I see my son and two grandchildren four nights a month, although I have less contact with my beautiful daughter because of many constraints on her and the fact that she lives a fair way from me. I miss her and my other two grandchildren a lot, but I speak to my daughter often, and there is a lot of shared love between us, which keeps me going between rare visits. Hugs Xx 🤗

  5. Love this. My kids are all out of home with their own families now. It happened in a whirlwind, baby to parent. Nothing makes me happier that they flew, I was thrilled for them but still the day was hard for me. But ,like your boy, they come home regularly. Enjoy your time with your boy home for the moment. 🙂
