Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Free verse

- To Heal a Heart -

I see the pain in your eyes and feel like you do 
Wish I could blow or kiss it away 
Love knows no boundaries - but can blow all frames 
Nothing in the world can compare with the mother's love 
Love, protect, comfort, warmth, hug and kiss 
Is your child's heart broken or dejected 
When sorrow strikes - and the heart feels pain 
Life seems like an old hag - who is out to ruin a good day 
Mother will look for comfort in words that speak of your sorrow 
Both mother and the child need to gather the strength to endure such pain 
Love has a sweet taste - almost like the taste of dark chocolate 
You taste one ... two ... three .... still you will be tempted to take another bite 
Accept the comforting and share your grief 
Remember ... grief is just a passing phase 
You need to gather the strength to endure the pain 
Children grow out of our lap - but never out of our hearts
