Notes About The Poem

Without

A child brought up in a loving safe haven blossoms into a laudable sensation.
Quote - Poet’s own
What is a home without love Without care, kisses or hugs It's a voice that's never heard No one listens to a word. It's the child that cannot speak Cannot smile and cannot sleep It's the heart bereft of song No dancing or sing-a-long. It's a fear that’s ever near An aggressive atmosphere It's tears that silently fall Without gentle care at all.

This is so beautifully written. You’ve described a home without love so eloquently. Your rhymes flow so very well and are creative. Sublime and profound write… “ tears that silently fall” hits the strongest for me
