A Mother’s Destiny
By Anzhi “Angie” Feng, age 9, from Vancouver/Toronto, Canada.
On the day you were born
At that misty cold hour
I saw your pink little toes
And your skin as pale as flour
I cradled you in my arms
As I slowly weep
Your soft dark hair touched my arms
As you fell asleep
From that day on
I watched you grow
From six o’clock to nine
And as you drifted off in bed
I realized the destiny of mine
Years pass in the blink of an eye
You are now seven
Your thick black hair comes to your waist
Just wait till you’re eleven
I cry in bed every night
Each day as you get older
Soon for a present
Instead of a doll
You’ll want a computer
That day comes way too soon
Time to say goodbye
You’re going off into the world
To find your new life
As you drive off into the night
I know that I’ve done well
And all the time we’ve had together
Is just another story to tell
