Frederic Parker Poet Sonnet

To Heal a Heart

I'll be here my child, to be your comfort
To warm each tear as they wash over you
And guide your fragile heart from discomfort
Hold you tender in my arms until through
I'll have no duty than to heal your cries
And lead you out of darkness to the light
Caress your weary soul with caring eyes
And lift your spirit from its painful plight
I'll gather you up, be your strongest shield
And protect you from what's frightened within
Love forever free, is never concealed
Guardian of your heart, I won't rescind

These arms a precious sanctuary to find
This heart, a never ending world that's kind

Robert Pettit March 2, 2014 at 10:44 AM You have added a good fourteenth line to your work. It looks much better.

Robert Pettit March 1, 2014 at 4:17 PM Looks like a good write except that you don't have a fourteenth line in this write that will allow this to be classified a sonnet poem. You need another line with an end rhyme that will rhyme with "shield". Frederic Parker March 1, 2014 at 6:12 PM Thank you my friend, I forgot to put it in...I owe you one Take care... Frederic
