'First Born'

Nine years ago today,
I birthed you into this world,
my first born,
for you I would have sworn,
to move mountains
and to carry the weight of the world.
I remember when you were first handed to me,
my heart felt like it would explode.
Nothing could ever prepare me
for our journey that now flowed,
for the force of love that I felt,
for the wisdom you bestowed,
and now I turn to look at you,
so beautiful, wild and free
riding bareback with such confidence
as strong as any tree,
this huge gratitude I feel
to have you by my side
my first born,
I am bursting with so much pride.

Notes

I consider myself to be a intermediate poet.

Thank you, thank you, thank you @d-pend for creating this challenge and allowing me to take the time daily to be creative and expressive. I am really happy to have made it this far.Day 89, so proud of myself and everybody else, well done. I have never had any input with my poetry before, it has always come straight from my heart, on to paper and more recently here on to steemit
