Unconditional Love

A love poem

It is as deep as it can be

when I look into their eyes

I see them with a smile

I see myself inside

What is this magic

that brought them to me

so perfect in every way

how can it be

How they were made

I wonder in awe

it was me and her

but there must be more

Such perfection I see

so there has to be

so much more than just us

so much more than just me

When they look at me

it is all they can see

I see it in their eyes

their love for me

I smell them, I watch them

growing so tall

I pick them back up

and never let them fall

It is simple and honest

straightforward no more

the love of your child

is the World, it is all

For they are my future

my hope and my life

I will love and protect them

to the day that I die
