Two and One

This is a poem depicting the relationship between Juliet and her nurse from "Romeo and Juilet". This was an assignment, actually.

For a gift of two children

I cannot say

But my love is endless

And will never sway.

Yet lost is one

To the boundless skies

And grown is the other

Full of surprise.

With her who has gone

I continue to weep

But for her who has strengthened

I vow to keep.

…

For when she’s a respectable woman

And I of old age

Then

Will come the time

To go offstage.

Author's Note

I actually don't know what to think of this poem...what do you guys think?
