"Fairy Dust"
Retired counselor, 341 short stories published by FSU. I have 4 sons, love sharing photography, writing, love travel, sunshine, sea & Grace.
This was a moment of intense joy that took me away from my pains and concerns and into a blissful state mum's can relate to: I called it "Fairy Dust."
Fairy Dust
Silently, I tip-toe to touch
The soft angel-face I love so much
Each whispered kiss releases me
From the present into eternity
Then I so blessed as my child brings
His sleepy arms about me linked
Like softly folded gossamer wings.
Then lifted up, he enfolds my yearning
Scattering my illusions of need, burning...
Into Fairy Dust
With tight hug and wide-eyed trust
He offers me his simple truth
"I love you mom"
Oh precious gift, my lovely son.
