So that you understand
Let me explain…
This should be easy
But it’s not.
Just close your eyes for a second
And try to listen to your breath
Loving you is like
That
That essential part of life
Life itself…
So that you understand
How much I love you
Have a visit
If you can
In your memory
And try to remember
Every second
Every scene
Of our together history
This should be easy
But it’s not
Just try
To translate
Or interpret
With your clean and loving heart
With your already wise vocabulary
That you were born
From the best of my heart and soul
To keep you
Look after you
Protect you
You were born only to be loved
A love which no words…
But maybe if you close your eyes…
That’s why I keep myself alive
Why against the whole world I fight
To love you
To keep you
Protect you
Because am mum
And you are my one
My only true love
My son.

This is infinitely beautiful, Dulce. Our mother's truly are the constants of our lives, always there for us, their love: timeless and unconditional. I loved the sentiment of our breath being the essence of life, and that that essence is jut like a mother's love. Such a wonderful idea, brilliantly expressed. This is a marvellous poem.
It was simple, yet hard to completely perceive. You managed to express such a great thing as mother's love by your infinitely sweet yet deep words. I also loved the similes.
Powerful.Touching.Beautiful.
I am a Mother too.

I shall never forget what my blind father typed to me many years ago:
"You are no longer my son.
Your mother still may claim you.
For, a mother's love is forever.
It never goes away."
I forget what I did, but it was not good.
Dulce, this is really "you" speaking with words so true.
I'm sure son loves you as well.
No, I was never a "mother" but sometimes I think that maybe God is....
Take care.
Beautiful...the joy of becoming a mom and the stress of sleepless nights with a new born, the day to day ordinary and the trepidation of having a teenager and as adults doing their own thing, and all those moments in between, is an indelible tattoo on the soul.

Happy Mother's Day to you. Such a beautiful soul you are. It's not an easy job, but very rewarding.
delightful!
It must be lovely to have such a loving mother as you. x
Like it!
I'm not a mother, as everyone can imagine...not even a father!
But I know how infinite her love is, 'cause I feel the same about her.
Love u, mummy! And thanks, Dulce, for moving us. I'm very lucky, and maybe I must get more time her.
Hugs,

Very pritty!
Bellísima tu poesía, Dulce.
Feliz día.
Muchos besos.
Feliz día dulce Mamá.!
Besos:)
beautifully moving tribute to mothers all - and especially to you, dulce - happy happy mother's day upcoming!!!
How beautifully put:
That’s why I keep myself alive
Why against the whole world I fight
Life changes when you become a mother. No decision is ever as simple as it used to be.
Happy mother's day Dulce
this too is my heart for my girls....when I read "That’s why I keep myself alive
Why against the whole world I fight
To love you
To keep you
Protect you" ....yes. Everything inside me whispers yes. Now I fight for my girls...for what you said here...This is my heart and Powerful to me. :)
how beautiful, your words reaching far into my heart and giving what i can't verbalize, flight! you are extraordinary, dulce, such a natural-born poet and i love coming by here!
Hey Sweeter poet-Peep, you received a new header for Mother's Day--and it is (IMO) a GREAT improvement! Other header stretched out sideways too far. Also I just now noticed how similar in color are our blogs now. Did you just change that also?
If you are unhappy about that, I can change. Just kidding, I'm sure you do not care.
See ya around.
Take care.
You make all mother's proud with this one! Que sentimiento y cariño. Me encanta como te expresas.
¡Feliz día, primita mia!
Tierna imagen y precioso texto,
un placer pasar por tu bonito blog,
feliz semana.
Such a loving tribute to your son! I have very few poems of my loved ones and daughters, I need to write more about people who mean the most to me in my life...
I have no lucky to have my mother close, but I miss her every day... but I have the greatest treasure, my daugther, and of course I love her more than anyone else in the world.
Dulce, I can say nothing, because I have no words to explain the beauty of your poem.
Kisses!!!

Dulce, that is the sweetest sweetest sweetest piece of love I have read! It's so from your heart, and I'll bet your son is one lucky boy. No. I know he is. A belated Happy Mother's Day to you. While you and your son were celebrating that, me and my hubby were celebrating our 7th anniversary. I have been away... for that. Lovely to read your lovely thoughts about your most loved one, Sweetest!
Nevine
such a lovely tribute to your son! I love this line: You were born only to be loved
yes I love it.
Happy Mothers day. You have woven a beautiful gift - from a mother's love.
Hola Dulce.Sweet Hello I think you speak Spanish, at least what I understand from your message, I owe this poer in the translator. I like poetry, but I just start making my first steps, that I do like and I am fond of reading it.
Thanks for coming into my blogger and your words.
well written, writing style was a bit different from the usual but effective indeed!!true when someone said that god couldn't look after every individual so he sent mothers on earth.yours words describe mothers love for her son beautifully and truthfully!!excellent writing!!keep writing!!
This so beautiful and heartfelt. Happy happy Mother's Day (sorry it's belated)...
It is the greatest gift to love a child so much and be willing to do absolutely *anything* for them.
biggest hugs~ for you and the little one. And, yes, I remember his name :) send him a hug~

So beautiful, Sweetie. I bet your son is proud of you;)
"Dulce" kisses:P
Yes-my friends ... dear friends,
there is not, there could be not,a single fake word here... I feel all that about my son and much more...
This loves is so bright, so sweet so above, beyond, any other thing that it sometimes hurts so badly and so beautifully at the same time...
I usually pray God please let me enjoy this LOVE for years and years, and let me be the first to leave, but not too soon...
crazy Mother thoughts?. don't think so.
I just sigh
And AMEN
.
Hope your mothers day was grande!!!
This was priceless!
oh Dulce, I love this piece. It's like you have written it for me. :)
Blessings
Dulce, what a beautiful tribute to the connection with your son! I definitely feel the same about my boys.
And happy belated Mother's Day! (for us it's tomorrow)
Moving is the word to describe this..
Happy Mother's Day ..
