Foundations




Come in for a while

Take time, look around

I'm a unique kind of construction

No others like me to be found


I'm forever changing

Inside and out

I'm always changing appearance

Of this theres no doubt


My foundations are sturdy

This is a fact

Thanks to the love a woman

Whom raised me like that


I have many flaws

Can't be perfect you know!

Though I know how to nurture

And like to help others grow


If life is the building

Then mines only half done

I'm still under construction

But that's half the fun

    Yay! We can help so many grow, help them find their voice so they too can pen a piece such as this. I like the way you build! :) And thanks for linking up with dVersePoets...our combined voice grows ever louder! Raise your glass! :) I also think that maybe Mom was a pretty special lady!

    I like this... it made me think of the phrase 'a work in progress'.. which I know we all are- we're ever changing which is a good thing..

    So true, hey? and a solid foundation is no small thing, it cuts the work of growing whole in half (speaking as a VERY late bloomer:)!)
