Wow- - so wonderful write ! ! It expresses so beautifully a mother's feeling for her son.Mother weaves her dreams around her son. Her love so deep- -But your precious silence is mine alone Here in my arms I have enrolled you Away from the grasping world I fold you 'Flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone!

L.M. Montgomery is the author of the Anne of Green Gables series and one of my favorite books (The Golden Road) when I was a kid. However, her poetry lacks something for me. I do like the last few lines of this poem, though: Others may hear your words of beauty, But your precious silence is mine alone; Here in my arms I have enrolled you, Away from the grasping world I fold you, Flesh of my flesh and bone of my bone!
