Lost Poem

A mother that hears the cry of her baby 
does not turn deaf ears to show indifference.

A woman prepared for a culinary task, 
by all means, gathers the condiments required.

A barricadoed road, however restrictive, 
suffices not to keep an incubating hen off her eggs.

A nocturnal darkness does not stand to disorientate 
a hand to miss its way to the mouth.

Scavenging any available heaps in sight 
reflects the missing of a valuable.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
