Food for thought

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

  4. Valerie I LOVE this poem! And I also love the style in which you presented it.

    In so few words, you said a lot. And also a lot of truth!

    Well done, my friend. WELL done!

    Hope you're having a great week!
