L Is For Love

Explaining emotions to a child

When daddy says wake up my child

And gently shakes the bed

Love is what' felt in my sleepy state,

while lifting heavy head.

 

As mom feeds me warm cereal and milk

Love between us exist

Given a warm bath and clean clothes

Love's tenderness can't resist

 

Placed in a warm safe place to play

Love radiates my way

When I trip and fall, mom lifts me

Kisses tears and frowns away

 

Love is the emotion felt all day

When warmth and hugs come

Love also guides me to avoid

Scary places,the whole sum

 

Love is a lullaby sung softly

When tired and sleep won't fall

Love is a kiss gently placed

As covers tucked, love enthrals

 

Love is a good emotion felt

It soothes my inner parts

Love uplits, encourages all

Love comes from the heart

A very beautiful poem, emotionally and visually. Love is everything. If only we hard more of it to go around the world wouldn't be such an ugly place. We have to find our own little place of peace, happiness and love but sometimes that isn't even enough because love hurts too.

Yes, sometimes when we love we get hurt but I feel that loving is worth everything..The world is in a sad state of affairs right now and it is even scary to think about what is going on everywhere..Thanks for the kind review..Sara
