Love

Love
A four letter word
Something I feel 
For 
My dearest Danielle 
And 
MaySea in the whole why way 
What is the why way? 
I wonder 
Why is the world this way? 
Happiness 
I currently feel for 
My love's, sleeping so 
Peacefully
My daughter Avril 
Her brother Paxton 
My beloved son 
Whom 
I miss with all my heart 
As 
I watch their baby sister fast asleep 
She is an angel 
Not forgotten by 
More so unknown to
Her big brother and sister
Whom
She's yet to meet
Not by choice. 
Unfortunately byproducts of choices made for them. 
Fear
Resides within my hope 
Lurking 
Hidden behind 
Evident in my eyes 
And 
Vividly present while dreaming
Biologically speaking 
Now nightmares are  
Felt as a nightmare is now a day out with my own mother and my very own brother.
I couldn't have ever imagined such pain
But love remains
And gratitude genuinely appreciates every aspect of this love 
Watching Danielle and MaySea sleep
A beautiful blessing 
My angels 
My all 
My everything 
My Miracles 
Love 
A four letter word

That means a lot. I wrote that one from the heart and I had forgotten about it until The Soup featured it.

Very beautiful. So many dynamics to life, aren't there? It's a struggle sometimes to find the balance between where pain should be and love should be, but I think that's why we write poetry (rhyme unintended there but I'll take credit for it all the same). Great poem, touched on a lot, and touched my heart. Well done

Thank you Phillip! You are allowed to take credit for your coincidental rhyme in comment. Nice flow. Gotta love complimenting a compliment. Thanks again and nice rhyme indeed.

Thank you Probir! I can't wait for Danielle to read this, she's asleep now I gave her a kiss and told her she is beautiful. It feels good being loving and to be loved. As I age and develop I am growing to truly appreciate love much much more everyday. I am getting sleepy, I'm attempting to make a djembe stand out of bamboo.
