A Poignant Reflection on Parenthood and Love
Written on
Chapter 1: The Evening's Whisper
In the quiet of twilight,
As shadows softly murmur and blend,
A baby's cry, so innocent and bright,
Resonates through the dark, a tender light.
Why should we care for this fragile life,
In a world so expansive, rife with strife?
A delicate spark amid the endless dark,
A glimmer in the vastness, a hopeful arc.
I turned away, heart heavy and torn,
From dreams that faded, love now worn.
In pursuit of meaning, in quest of peace,
Seeking comfort, a sweet release.
Yet from afar, both distant and near,
A baby's laughter, precious and dear.
A simple sound, a harmonious tune,
That intertwines with time, like the sun and moon.
Why should we cherish this life so new?
In every breath, a chance to renew.
In every cry, a plea to perceive,
The world through eyes that truly believe.
I thought I had perished, in spirit, in soul,
In search of a purpose, a long-forgotten goal.
But in that cry, in that sweet refrain,
A reason to thrive, to stand through the pain.
I see you now, this child so bright,
A guiding star in the darkest night.
Yet it was never here, this realm so bare,
This land of dreams, an empty air.
For within my heart, a void still lay,
An echo unbroken, longing to stay.
A yearning for what could never be,
A muted call for clarity.
Why should we value this fleeting breath?
In every existence, in every death,
A tale unfolds, a path laid bare,
A wound laid open, a scar laid bare.
I walked away, turned my back on the past,
On dreams that withered, shadows cast.
In search of something, something profound,
A distant shore, a hidden ground.
Yet in that cry, that baby's plea,
A call to arms, a chance to see.
An opportunity to feel, to truly know,
A moment to discover what is real, what will grow.
Why should we cherish this tiny hand,
That reaches for life, making a stand?
In every touch, a universe is born,
In every smile, a heart is sworn.
I thought I had withered, seeking my peace,
But in that journey, I found sweet release.
For in that child, that life so bright,
A chance to begin, to embrace the light.
I see you now, in every gaze,
A baby's cry, a gentle blaze.
Yet it was never here, this place,
This fleeting dream, this empty space.
For in my heart, a fire ignites,
A lesson learned, as the page recites.
A baby's laughter, a gentle sigh,
A purpose to live, a reason why.
Why should we care for this tender spark?
In every heart, it leaves a mark.
A promise formed, a vow to uphold,
A memory cherished, a story retold.
I turned away, but found my way,
Through the deepest night, to the brightening day.
In that small cry, that simple sound,
A world reborn, a love unbound.
So why should we care for this fragile life?
In every joy, in every strife,
A chance to see, to truly understand,
The beauty in the ebb and flow, hand in hand.
I thought I had perished, yet found my light,
In a baby's cry, in the gentle night.
I see you now, in every tear,
But it was never here, never here.
For in my heart, where dreams abide,
A baby's laughter, my tender guide.
A reason to care, to hope, to be,
In every breath, in you, in me.
