My child

SLR

You don't know,

But how could you?

You don't have a clue,

But that's just you.

You look into my eyes

My mind goes blank.

Only you remain.

 

Your pain, your tears,

Rips my soul from me.

 

I feel broken.

 

But no, wait,

I'm the most blessed.

 

You need me.

 

No meaning before you,

Only petty be-ing.

No reality with you,

Life is a dream.

If only you knew,

So please take care.

You are my heart,

No life without you, child.

  • Comment from author about the poem: I scribbled this out a while back when one of my kids was sick. It's a bit messy but oh well. I think the parents out there will be able to relate.

    I CAN DEFINITLY RELATE TO THIS.IT BROUGHT ME BCK TO WHEN I HAD A MISCARRIAGE.SAD BUT MEMORABLE.THANK YOU.

      I wasn't really sad when I wrote it. More that I was wanting to express the depth of my love for my kids. I'm so sorry for your loss.

        I understand what you mean,I have my Nelly,but i was meaning that it also made me think of the one that I lost,and how much I loved that child as well.

        Some great imagery about the love for our children. Inspred me to try and explain it myself. Jealous of your walks by 'the lakes'.

          The woods and the lake help me keep what's left of my sanity. (It's hanging by a thread at times) Thank you for your nice comment!
