The sweetest gift you've given me;
the gift of part of you
A child with your facial features
and a smile to get me through
You've given me a child to cherish
To love and to hold when you're not here
You've given me this beautiful gift
I only wish he didn't strike you with fear
Our son is a treasure deep in my heart
He was a blessing from part of my soul
I'm so fortunate to have him and you
Even though your hurt swallows me whole
But I will make it through this
I'll be the best I can be
One day I know in my heart
we'll be a real family
You weren't ready to be a father
and that's okay right now
You were afraid to open up
but I know it'll work out somehow
I have a son that I can care for
and he is part of my heart
Even though you've gone away,
I won't let it tear me apart
Nothing will change my love for you
My heart and soul are yours to keep
because I know you will come back someday
because I know your love for us is deep
Right now, I'm content with what I have
because you've given me so much
Our son with a heart of gold
from your loving care and touch
Don't worry, my sweet love
I will wait for you
I'll tell our son each and every day
that we'll all make it through
I know in my heart that I am right
and that you will come back to us
You'll hold our son in your own arms
and finally, you'll give me your trust
Author notes
This is not a personal experience. Inspired by a song called So Fortunate by Adema and my character, Rose, and Opaque Beauty's character, Sharazon. I hope this was what you were looking for.

The characters behind this poem are definitely in quite the complicated relationship. Opaque Beauty and I are doing a background story about it and I'll be posting it. I thought I'd tell you in case you were interested. Thank you for another lovely comment. You may want to check out the song that this poem was inspired by. I love it.

I adored this write... it was so sad and aching, yet it captured such a beautiful love, in the bond of a mother and child...

Hehe, a nice poem. Hopefully, he'll come back soon to love her as well as his son. But for now, time is needed. Good luck in the contest.

This was very well written! I couldn't believe this wasn't from personal experience, I could really feel the emotion! I like how you took something very sad and made it hopeful and somewhat happy, looking at the bright side of a dark situation. Nice write!
Good luck, and thanks for entering! -
