For You, My Love

Though I have told you

That I would be your shelter,

Sometimes I feel that I

Cannot protect you from all the evils

In the world or in your heart

It makes me cry to think that I can’t

 

If I could, I would take away the fears, the hurt

I would hold you tight and make it alright

I would wrap you in the security

That you so desperately need

But you are so far away,

All I can only do is send you my love

 

I pray to the Lord

That you will be fine

And that you will feel my love

Across the distance

Think of me and I will be there,

In your heart and in your mind

 

As you are always in mine….

beautiful, truly glides off the tounge and tugs at the heart strings. there is nothing sadder than not being there for the one you love in person, but at least we have hearts to bind us. great write!

absolutely beautiful.. the desire to hold our beloved and protect them particularly when they are away from us is such a strong and beautiful emotion.. Beautifully written

[emmajoy]

This is so beautiful, loving, caring.. it's as if you want your words to draw that person closer and closer into your arms.

Wanting to protect - needing to protect, someone is, to me, the most loving trait anyone can feel towards another person. That feeling just pours from your poem:

' I would hold you tight and make it alright / I would wrap you in the security / That you so desperately need '

Thank you so much for sharing.

I wish someone wld take away my fears! to be a lightening conductor for another is a great service. a poem of simple humanity at its best.

"If I could, I would take away the fears, the hurt
I would hold you tight and make it alright"

This is indeed a great piece of writing, you have painted the entire visualization so beautifully. I really liked the imagery in it a lot :)
Special the above lines, I really loved them...There's just so much raw emotions in it!

But I loved the closing line the most, it very well concluded the entire piece of writing.
Great piece of writing, as always :)

Awl...you are so compassionate and kind. Who wouldn't want that. This is a superb display of love. Thanks for entering the Missing Him, Missing Her contest.

Very sweet. I think you strongly tried the grasp the fact that you really can't always be there. From my perspective, you put it perfectly. Every word described another perfectly! Another piece VERY well done!
