- To Heal a Heart -

I see the pain in your eyes and feel like you do Wish I could blow or kiss it away Love knows no boundaries - but can blow all frames Nothing in the world can compare with the mother's love Love, protect, comfort, warmth, hug and kiss Is your child's heart broken or dejected When sorrow strikes - and the heart feels pain Life seems like an old hag - who is out to ruin a good day Mother will look for comfort in words that speak of your sorrow Both mother and the child need to gather the strength to endure such pain Love has a sweet taste - almost like the taste of dark chocolate You taste one ... two ... three .... still you will be tempted to take another bite Accept the comforting and share your grief Remember ... grief is just a passing phase You need to gather the strength to endure the pain Children grow out of our lap - but never out of our hearts 01.03.2014 Sponsor:F.

Your heart and soul are expressed in these words. A mother's love has no end, and neither does your talent with a pen. I think you have a winner here.

What a fantastic poem of a mother's love. This poem makes me think of my lovely son - he is away from home at uni but always in my heart. Incidentally, we both love plain chocolate - he loves the bars with 75% cocoa butter the more bitter the better! a bitter sweet taste - mmmm. Good luck in the competition Jan xxxxx
