Notes About The Poem

 

                                        For better or worse.

We Didn't Ask To Be Born Didn't Ask To Die

No one asks to be born
No one asks to die

But when you lose someone 
You truly love
Watch them suffer
In so much agony
That you suffered 
And felt the agony and pain too

There was no one in the world
Who could do anything
Or I could do
The castle we built together
Stone by Stone
Slowly erodes

Would it Have been better 
I ponder 
Although it hurts so much to say
To say
If we had never been born
Or never met
All
But we must have been born
And brought together for a reason
The reason being
Our beautiful children
Made of love
I can see the sadness in their watery eyes
And it pains to say
Whenever look at them
I see a reflection of you
Looking back at me
Reminding me
Wherever you are
Or how far
I now know it meant to be
We met that day
Both fall madly in love
It must have been more than fate
And destiny

We were made for each other
The mould was cast 
And thrown away
Two halves making a whole
As one
Welled together
A perfect fit
With both our names
Carved so deep
The same blood
Running through our veins
And through our heart
Ordained and sanctified
From heaven high above
With approval
And blessed with purity

We had one mind
In harmonious sync
Speaking yet silent
No one else can read
Or understand

I have to be strong for our children
And my own sanity
Maybe one day
In a better place than here
You'll
Come back to me.

Yes. NO one asked to be born. Nor do we normally ask to die. And yet... Now that we are here, let us examine our deeds... Your poem's 'exam' is found tremendously worthy and worthwhile of the life given to the protagonists. At least, I think so. Kudos, Gershon
