Let me not be
A helicopter hovering
Over my son
Yet still, let me not be
So ignorant, or weak
Tired, nor exhausted
And then unknowingly
Allow, or throw my son
At destroyers, Hypocrites
Who’ll shatter his life; dream.
Teach me to balance
My role as caretaker
Of this beautiful miracle
You sent my way
Send us just a few friends
Oh yes, not many
But only some
Loyal, supportive, unwavering
Unyielding to greed, unselfish
Who will bolster our lives
Serve as sub-caretakers
Of my Precious Jewel
Rare, beautiful treasure
Kick away the liars
Keep at bay the deceitfuls
The barbarians, the Quacks
The Shark, the shackles
And all who seek subjects
Direct my actions, thoughts
Intercede when I am falling
Intervene, when I’m weak
And lost my way
Let me not fail
This beautiful role
The gift of motherhood
Thank you, my dear
As for my needs, wishes
I give it all to you
My hopes, heart's desires
I know, I believe
You’ve heard me,
And I have it.

For Today, and For Always
© Musue N. Haddad
(This poem was written after reading an article yesterday about medical studies (deliberately infecting people with syphilis and other sexually transmitted diseases in Guatemala) carried out in Guatemala without the knowledge of the [human] subjects.)
Thank you for today
For being Overcomers
The resounding victories
And for the breakthroughs
The crew and askew
Thank you for yesterday,
And all the days before.
I embrace all,
Thank you for always,
Your revelations,
The Beacons, factions
Strengths, rations,
Insights, visions,
In all, you shine
I give you thanks.
For your unceasing love,
Super beautiful gifts,
Hence I come again,
Today, and for always,
My Knight in armor,
I solemnly implore,
Your continuous visits,
In my home, heart.
And for my child,
I say, I need you,
Manifest your presence
Never depart
More so, I ask,
Keep the destroyer away,
Ban the thief always
Sanction the demolisher
For today and always,
You're my Prince's guide
And his vigilant protector,
Against prejudice, unfairness,
Deliberate depravedness,
Widespread iniquitousness,
Even so, kindle in him
The fire of Your faith
Strength at heart,
Shower upon us your gifts,
Always grow to know you
Appreciate, know you intimately
For today, and always
My earnest plea
Strengthen us always,
Mind, body, and Spirit
Be with us, ablaze
We cannot stand alone,
And with no other
As stated in our covenant
Set upon Your Word
And greater promises,
By our loyal, faithful agent
We are beneficiaries, heirs
So, our eyes are set on you
Thank you, I say,
For today, and for always.
