Notes About The Poem

I Never Knew Love Until I Knew You

FROM HEART TO PAPER UNEDITED

For every tear you shed from hurt
physical or emotional
For every tear you shed from shame
rightly or wrongly

My loves

my heart sheds a beat

I never knew love
Until I knew you
I love you both
from my tippy toes
to the peak
of my silver threads

Don't hurt my dears
But when you do
I will hold you tight
Encase your fears
Minimize the pain

And when my heart bleeds
or slightly feels a crack
It's because my daughters
your lives before mine.


I love you so much girls...
