My child

 

 

Tenderly,

I look upon you.

so innocent,

of this darkened world.

Your cry,

resonates throughout me.

 burdens heavy,

I carry for you.

Harsh world lightened,

by your care free smile.

gently kissing you upon the cheek,

world brightens for a moment.

weights of life,

lift with the sight of you.

For my love so freely given,

I will protect you always my child.

So sweet. ^^ A love of a parent to his/her child is truly neverending . . .

[Ufi Auttorri ~ UfoAutho..]

It is sentiment all caring parents can relate to. Very nicely captured in delicate form and structure.

I adore the broken rhyme because it makes it sound so raw.

As I have never bore a child I have yet to physically and emotionally feel the impact that a child of one's own kin is able to make. I can oh so imagine the feeling to have a little one of your creation within your arms, a part of you. A being so innocent in such a scarred world.

Thank you for sharing, I love you work and I'm excited to read the next!

A very endearing and touching poem about the most basic and honourable of human
emotions, good work.
