I didn’t put a date on the poems I wrote so I can’t remember when I wrote this. I suppose it must have been when the kids were babies. 
I thought that the last line “For this is the way its meant to be” didn’t quite sound right but it was the only thing I could think of that rhymed. 
MOMMY WON’T YOU CARRY ME
Author & Copyright: Mumsgather.com
Oh Mommy, won’t you carry me
I can’t sleep mommy can’t you see
I’m afraid you will just let me be
Instead of holding me on your knee
Once, in your womb I’m warmly snuggled
Now the world is big and cold I’m so puzzled
I long to be pressed closed to your heart
So I will know that we will never part
Mommy won’t you hold me near
I promise I won’t shed a tear
I love to feel your rocking motion
And I’m sorry I made that commotion
Soon I will grow big and strong
And you will know you did no wrong
When you held me rocked me and loved me
For this is the way its meant to be

wow…you’re really quite poetic. I can never write poems that rhyme – my head will crack open from getting words to rhyme. If I ever write a poem, it’d be one that doesn’t rhyme or make sense.
mom2kiddos. I use Rhymezone. Try it, its fun. You just type in the word which you think you want to use. It will list out all the rhyming words for you, then you just think of the sentence. Easy peasy. Hehe.
very nice poem. getting misty eye now
Aha…thanks for that info. Goodness, there’s just solutions for everything nowadays.
About my new comment form – thanks for the feedback. There are some teething problems. Don’t know what’s going on, sometimes okay, sometimes not.
Here’s the reply to your comment yesterday:
“Aww thanks! You just made my day!! Iikewise about your blog too!”
Pssst… I still can’t see your replies to my comments on your comment form.
this is lovely.. I too believe in holding my child for one day they will grow too big
Ahh so that’s your secret. But it’s a very lovely poem. And yes they already know you did no wrong. That’s why they love you so much..:)
Oh oh! I gave away my secret. Nevermind, good things are meant to be shared.
Hi MG,
A poem written from the heart and soul is different from any poem that is written just for itself. I think yours comes from the heart and soul and that is why it is “captivating” and whole ;P.
I checked out your “secret” website and the site only helps you with alternative words. Not the feelings behind you poems
. Do write only when you “feel” from your heart and whatever you write will be great.
Hello Greg, It is not difficult for me to express myself in writing because I express myself better with this medium. In person, I have been described as “taciturn”. I looked the word up and it says it is an adjective with the meaning 1. inclined to silence; reserved in speech; reluctant to join in conversation. 2. dour, stern, and silent in expression and manner. Quite often, I have been mistaken for being cold and aloof when in actual fact, I just don’t know what to say! I kind of make it up with writing out anything and everything.
Ahh so that’s your secret. But it’s a very lovely poem. And yes they already know you did no wrong. That’s why they love you so much..:)T
