Sad Love

She came crying
In no season
Me asking
For what reason.

No answer, only sob
A finger pointing on her heart
I suspect it's all about love
As I sense it from the start.

Oh, my daughter is in love
As I hear some romantic phone call
I see her glowing stare from above
Unmindful a glass of water already full.

The happiness is short-live
As she open up her grief
The love she give
Has betrayed by a thief.

She later found out sought
The boy she commit
Is already betroth
Agreed to better quit.

I pity my daughter
For such an early failure
But I never discourage her
For that lovely error.

For a moment, I gave her a glance
And tap her back a shove
Advice her to give her heart a chance
To never give up on love.

Thank you, Darlene. We both parents and we know what heartbroken means. Our children are not our children, they are the children of the universe. We cant dictate the course of our children's life. We parent just give advice, guidance and motivating words of comfort and giving them unconditional love. Thanks, Darlene. Love lots here./Hugo.
