A Father’s Day poem to the almost-father of several miscarriages.
Fear not, for the world is full of beauty,
And love’s the song that brings it all to life.
Those who don’t have children often might
Have other songs to sing of
joyful duty.
Even so, one ought to feel the longing
Reverberating through one’s canyon walls
‘Mid all the other lost dreams one
recalls,
So that one’s sorrows might enrich one’s singing.
Days like these remind one of the loss,
Allow one to feel pain without remorse,
Yielding to the loveliness of being.
