Poems From The Heart

About the Book

To Jacob, From Deborah Erlichson From a mother to her son: You are my first born, My son who I have sworn to love. When you smiled at me for the first time, No doubt, you are a part of me, Can’t you see? My unconditional love for you is immeasurable, Yet it was and is so pleasurable! I fed you, bathed you, and took care of you when you were sick, You were and still are my heart and soul; you loved lollipops & favored every lick. You are my inspiration and my joy, So why displace it with a ploy? You are married now and have your own life, Please don’t disregarded me and give me strife. When you don’t call me to ask me how I feel, It makes me sick like a sunburn getting ready to peel. You are a great father and good husband, And so glad and so proud of you. All of my eternal Love, Mom

About the Author

I reside in Brooklyn, NY with my wonderful husband. I work for the City of New York. I am a very proud Mother and Grandmother. My husband and I rent an apartment not far from where I work. When I was growing up in the Midwood area in Brooklyn living in a two-family house with my parent’s and three other sisters’ (no brother’s), I made friends with everyone on my block. My block was friendly and neighbor’s watching out for each other. My parent’s had a broken down car and we loved it! She took us all over with this car. My mother loved to drive in her spare time and my father loved his baseball games. They both worked while we were in school and when we came back home from school, we helped by cleaning and preparing dinner for us. I learned a lot from my mother to be versatile and a lot from my father to be strong and have courage.
