So Go Ahead Lord



So go ahead
Disturb my sleep
Implant your lines
and phrases deep.
The topic has been
Bugging me for days.
A Mother’s fortitude
Undying Love
And tireless ways.


A little is my own
My Momma’s care.
She knew the words
The comfort always there.
But you take motherhood
To China’s crowd.
To Myanmar, Croatia
Ukraine proud.
You bring us all
To common ground
Unmatched.


The brooding one
Would guard the Egg
In Love and Courage
Til hatched.
And then some.

About this poem

In past years I received guidance and uplift from Waterloo master poet Rienzi Crusz. I have posted on poetry. com several of Rienzi’s pieces. He would say that promotion of a collection to book publishers is the ugly 75% of the effort. The other 25% is the delightful and cathartic part. You are the Boss. All aspects of creativity…yours and God’s. So enjoy Gang. The sky and beyond, from time to time. An example in this link. https://www.poetry.com/poem/149724/rienzi-crusz,-brown-in-snowfall
