My Sons

I look at you and I feel intense love. A love so indefinite that it chokes me from within. You are mine, I made you. Finally, something good came from me. I never understood what love really was, until I had you.

"Finally, something good came from me." This line resonates deep within me. So much of what we do seems to be for naught. But the 'production' of a human being is sch an awesome experience and feat. How can it help but evoke a sense of real worth, if not a kinship with the Creator Himself?! Your poem rouses wonder, Ilana. :) Gershon

That means so much to me Jan, i haven't written anything new since i was 17. This was my first attempt. Posted some old stuff, but I feel something inside of me needs to get out there again. Will keep trying.
