Poem 4#
Don't you worry
I love you to the moon and back
But my child
Rest your weary soul
And cease your weeping
Your father is away
I know
But we always have each other
You may not see him
The man whom you share
The beautiful brown hair with
I love you too much that I'll give you a castle
But child
Rest your broken heart
Upon my chest
I'll cuddle you until you are safe
I know you miss your father
But we still have each other
You may not hear him
The man who fondly took my heart
Like you did when I birthed you
I love you
I am here
I will hear you
I will comfort you eternally
But child
You have grown up and resemblance is uncanny
Your sienna coloured eyes
That rivalled that of the garnet stones
Your beautiful smile
That warms my lonely heart
Your locks of dark brown hair
That brush your shoulders
I miss him because of you
I tried to hide you from the pain
The pain I felt when he failed the promise
To watch you be surrounded by friends
With fathers
Knowing full well you don't have your own
Forgive me and rest your heavy head
On my lap
I know that you dearly miss him
As do I
But, rest on my lap for the last time
For the kind lavender eyes
Will engrave themselves in memory
For the silver hairs will be the last you touch
From the person whom you called Mom
But do not worry
For I found him
Lying next to me
In the same black box
You rested my body in
To remain together
In eternity
