Notes About The Poem

My Children

My blessed children

Would that you could know

A love as I have known.

A kindred flame so glowing,

The knowing gentle hand of God.

Touched once and ever held

My heart could not release

Such boundless bliss, 

Impart by given text

All tears to spill.

For this love,

This only ever once, my love;

Enters where there is no space,

Gives birth where none have borne

And permeates the fibre of my soul.

I cannot be, but this, forevermore;

And my children, oh my lovely children,

Could I give but one more gift to thee;

To love like this, for all eternity.
