A Mother's Feelings for Her Daughter ......

AS I WATCH YOU GROW!

Do you know how much you mean to me?
As you grow into what you will be.
You came from within, from just beneath my heart
it's there you'll always be though your own life will now start.
You're growing so fast it sends me awhirl, 
With misty eyes I ask, Where's my little girl?
I know sometimes to you I seem harsh and so unfair, 
But one day you will see, I taught you well because I care.
The next few years will so quickly fly, 
With laughter and joy, mixed with a few tears to cry.
As you begin your growth to womanhood, this fact you must know, 
You'll always be my source of pride, no matter where you go.
You must stand up tall and proud, within you feel no fear, 
For all your dreams and goals, sit before you very near.
With god's love in your heart and the world by its tail, 
You'll always be my winner, and victory will prevail.
For you this poem was written, with help from above, 
To tell you in a rhythm of your Mother's heartfelt Love!

I am the Captain of my Soul! - Nelson Mandela

I saw a beautiful movie "Invictus" a few days back and it was so mesmerizing and stunning that I could not wink my eyes, until I saw the end. The movie is inspired by a true story of South African President Nelson Mandela. One of the most loved part of the movie was a poem narrated by Nelson Mandela named, "I am the Master of my Fate; I am the Captain of my Soul"!
I am sure that you all will love it. You must Share this Post with Friends if you Like it! Thanks!


INVICTUS

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.


In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.


Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.


It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.


You can also enjoy the poem in the voice of Morgan Freeman, as narrated by Nelson Mandela in "Invictus"!
