With Love

Once I touched the light I did It was so white I ran and hid You never warned me about life that it was like that You never told me about the rain or to wear a hat Wish upon a star they say in the bright of the dark Wish for the better part of a day in the wilds of a park Where a fountain of knowledge flows Where a sky of dots and of circles glows I had so much and it made me sad all that insignificant gold I had so much it made me happy all those friends to hold Sometimes I was cold and I swear I truly needed heat Sometimes I was hot and slept without even a sheet Once in a while I felt lost and confused Once in a while I was found and amused Tell me about the caterpillar about the butterfly Tell me that was a fairy I saw and not a made up lie Words were sworn but they were only floating bubbles Words were born and suddenly I played in puddles Each day from joy I cried Each day filled with love I tried

Armand, I find this to be such a precious poem. I am not totally sure what it means but I can get it in general. You have learned much about love in your lifetime. The imagery in this is wonderful and your rhymes are very nice as well. Not seeming forced in any way. FAVE
