Why can’t we get it right?
Boy
and
Girl
Play
as kids
Each
one doing
as
the other bids
Holding
hands
Happy
now
With
this kiss
make
the vow
Boy
and
Girl
No
longer kids
Each
one doing
as
parent bids
Lays
the law down
far
too young
to
settle down
raising
young
Boy
and
Girl
in
war torn state
love
and tears
now
separate
Shame
on parent
who
denied
the
right to love
before
bombs
descended
from
above

Very touching, it's hard being on both ends.
ReplyDeleteValerie I LOVE this poem! And I also love the style in which you presented it.
