14 years ago
We made our debut
Mother and son
From one
We became two
From me
Emerged you
A poem
Doesn't start
As a blank page
It starts
As a spark
A firing neuron
You
Didn't begin life
As an empty vessel
You
Were created
When love raged
Nine months later
That love had passed
But our love
Will always last
I used to witness
So many firsts
Everything
Was new to you
Now
I beg for tidbits
About your day
Knowing
You're still
Having firsts
Thirsty
For news of them
But relegated
To provider
Of food
And pocket money
I'm tempted
To buy a car
Just so
I can spend
More time
With you
(leaving this poem unfinished for now...)
14 years!
Happy Birthday Nexen!
