Love is Life

She is the one
The one of my life
She is the heart
The heart of life

I never would have thought
Ten little fingers
And ten little toes
Could change me so much

Five years it has been
Since that first sight
And every year, every moment
My love only grows

The long times away
Give such pain
Such horror of the heart
For then my heart is gone

A weekend mother I am
So My Heart is gone
Gone so much of the time
My life is empty

Yet she loves me
She talks to me
Everyday
She loves me

Zoya My Love
You are my Heart, my Life
You gave me Life
On the day of your birth

[Kees Kapteyn]

Our children are indeed the cores of our lives in ways that lovers, deities and other obsessions could never be. This is a beautiful poem of devotion, and the misery of being away from them if there had been a break in the family dynamic. Too many of us know this misery all too well. Your heart is gone from you, elsewhere- you can feel it moving through places far away from you, while you are helpless in stopping the feelings.

Its a beauiful and wonderful poem, I can feel how much you love your child and how much she gives you life and a meaning in it.
