I have lost the child
Of a lonely man
Not in an accident nor war
A suffering psyche of scar
Has lost peace to seed
Fear’s possessive greed
Of a mother’s doubt what could be
If she were free
To truly love
I have won the children
Of all world’s men
Not by fighting back to win
A loving heart within
Has found peace to share
Forgiveness to take care
Of a father’s knowing what can be
Because he’s free
To truly love

I thank you!
language from the heart is never complex because it needs no thinking, only feeling. Inspired
Thank you very much! It was exactly like that:-)
Very soundly put. Fear so often negates any love a person might feel; whilst certitude confirms love for all humanity.
Profound, Mathias.

Thanks a lot, Patty. It came from deep within, yes:-)
Your poem is really well-written. It took me a long while to realise that fighting against my fear would only make it grow bigger and swallow me whole. It’s love which is the key to soothe my emotions.
Thanks for your wise comment! All the best
