I Thought I Knew True Love...

 

 

 

I Thought I Knew True Love

 

…and then she cried

sweet little raindrops from blue bell eyes

 

I held her

close

where she could hear the lullaby

playing in my heart

only for her

 

 

tears fell…

my heart fluttered

 

and her tiny hand wrapped around my finger

 

No,

I never knew true love

 

….and then she cried

The first moment of private true closeness with a new born is one that last a life time. No one who hasn't experienced it can fully understand. i loved the lines
" I held her
close
where she could hear the lullaby
playing in my heart
only for her"
Only a mother knows. You surpassed yourself , didn't think you could get better, but you did.

This is very true. When I held my child for the first time. I knew what love is. A beautiful journey into the emotion of the love for our children. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

The love for a child never leaves or fades, we love out baby until the day we die, our special gift from God. I can only imagine the love when you hold your baby in your arms for the first time, such a precious time and sweetest memories.

The unconditional love for a child is incomparable to anything this universe has to offer. I know exactly how this feels and it's more than I could have ever asked for. Beautiful job, Julie! :)

I relate to this as a father as well, knowing that love for our children. And then they grew up, and had children of their own, and the cycle repeats itself, all over again.
A lovely poem, I felt this one.
