Love of Our Souls

Our children are the light of our lives,
The love of our souls.
They are the hopes and the dreams
Of what we want this world to be.
From the moment they are born,
They become the light of our lives.
And when that light is suddenly extinguished,
We are left to question why.
But we know that the light that shone so brightly
Here on this world
Will join and add to the light in Heaven forevermore.
To us, the ones who are left to carry on,
We can only hope and pray
That the darkness that has invaded our souls
Can be illuminated once again with time,
Knowing all too well
That a part of us will never be the same.

Beata Agustin July 12, 2022 at 6:46 PM Thanks for sharing this. Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome 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." The Lord's blessings be with you. Russell Rutherford July 13, 2022 at 9:55 AM Thank you Beata, and also with you!
