Goodnight Kisses

It's a poem of parental (and unconditional) love

Kiss them e’en though they sleep

Kiss them lightly 'pon the brow

Kiss them e’en though they sleep…(so deep)

They’ll sense the kiss somehow

Perhaps they’ll feel the kiss as real

Perhaps they’ll feel it only in their dreams

Perhaps they’ll feel the kiss you steal

And know it exactly… as it seems

Curious tis that goodnight kiss

Curious tis the love contained…(within)

Curious is the lifelong bliss

Curious the memories the mind retains

 

The memories of

The warmth and love 

Within their parents 

...goodnight kiss…

Author's Note

Maudlin maybe, but that's the way ol' Irish poets swing.
