Notes About The Poem

Love Dwells In This Heart


  When little I knew the love of my parents,
       And of my big sister;
  Of my grandma and grandpa full of giving,
       I lost my sister early.
       A piece of me is gone,
I love her as though she was still part of life;
       I loved my husband so much,
       He waits down a winding road.
My two babies are entwined in my heart forever,
       Although they never saw the sky;
       Love is in the winding vine of life,
Love . . . 
  There is the love of friends that are so special,
       The unconditional love of pets.

  My father left me suddenly and I was shattered,
        Oh I weep for mother;
  She is an angel up above that watches over me,
        Grandpa, oh deep that love.
        Grandma taught me to write,
And I love my writing skill that the Lord above gave;
        And I love to dance and twirl,
        Love is a tangled forest stream.
Love is forgiveness and love is accepting the negative,
        Seeing beyond the words;
        Love that exists for all time,
Love . . . 
    Can be found in fragments of sweet loving moments,
        Love dwells within this heart.
