Blue, eyes looking up at me
shining with love and hope
full of excitement and curiosity
through pain or just a mope
eyes filled with tears
look to me for comfort
to chase away the fears
to heal the hurt
to be the one with the loudest cheers
turning to me always for support
Purple bruises from learning to walk
everything is dangerous and I must see
as you jump from a rock
fall off a bike or climb a tree
anytime you’re hurt causes my stomach to churn
thinking of your troubles in life I wince
hard lessons you’ll have to learn
Letting go so you can assert independence
The best color to describe your laugh is Periwinkle
from your first baby giggles
a funny joke or a tickle
to a child’s happy squeals
cheerful, energetic, and loud
not afraid to let it out whenever
It’s my most favorite sound
Wish I could put it in a jar and keep it forever
Green, ink marks down your arms
You say you are a dinosaur
great big imagination is one of your charms
Watching you grow is the best gift I could ask for
Green grass stains on all of your clothes
I should be mad
But that’s just how life goes
They’re reminders of the fun you had
Yellow dandelion that you picked for me
The sun shining on your face
Your radiant smile full of glee
A perfect example of beauty and Grace
Red, frustration I’m a human being
Together I won’t always have it
Everything won’t always be peachy keen
I get angry, sometimes I lose my shit
But red is also for Love and devotion
A piece of my heart you’ll always hold
Love as vast and deep as the ocean
A serious responsibility a life to mold
My first look at you I smiled
I knew the best adventure had begun
Your are my precious child
My Daughter, My Son
Colors colors everywhere
I can’t remember who I was before you came
Before you my life seemed meaningless and bare
You changed me, never to be the same
You are my greatest blessing
My joy and pride
Even though motherhood can be stressing
Wild like a rollercoaster ride
It’s my job to love you till my dying breath and beyond
For it’s true
Nothing will break our bond
The most special thing about me is getting to raise you
