The Love of a Child

Love does not come in candy,

or mortal flowers that

shrivel away in five or six days.

It does not come in

false promises that maybe someday

we will have a good day

and everything will be

okay.

Love is within the grasp

of a child comforting his

sobbing mother who's

daughter wouldn't say

"I love you" on Mother's Day

It is in the father-son

conversation that is held

without speaking a word

but every single thing to say

is entirely understood.

Because someday

it will be okay

but right now

a child holds his weeping mother

and a father needs his son.

Love isn't to be seen by just our eyes or heard by our ears! Its just to be felt though we may not have any senses! Its just to be felt within on the ways of our loved ones!
