Sadness and Lifes greatest gift

Upon the outside i smile and i laugh
but deep within i feel dark and so
very,very isolated way beyond alone

I take care of people who can not take
care of them self,  when i am at work
i put all my hidden feelings on a shelf

I see pictures of there families with
grand children that they have, i smile
and smile but deep inside i am very mad
and so very sad

I think of who they are and where they
have been, for if they die the people i
take care of, they have family that carries
each one of there personal.spiritual names

For i am the youngest but yet i am so very
old, as i see children born my inner sad
ness makes me ever so cold

One of life's greatest gift is to become a
Dad, why was i never chosen, to me that
makes me full of anger and so very mad

I feel as i sometimes want to die, to tell you all
that is no lie, for this will be my legacy as i write
on this site, as i hope if i die that some one will
remember me and that is no lie

If i die tomorrow for who will remember me within time

as i feel no one would spend a dime

 

Love lost is better than love never gained,  i see children

this is my inner deep pain

 

For what is a man if he cannot pass on his name,  in life i have

lost that personal game.

 

I walk the thin line of normal and insane,  for what in life have i 

really gained

 

No one to to carry on my simple fucking name,  in life i feel so

alone and chained and along with that so very,very drained

 

So as the Title reads,  Sadness and life's greatest gift why was I

the one that God Had to stiff

    Your words affect me dear friend, I feel your pain like a thud in my chest...I cannot imagine what you must feel, and yet you are so brave and honest to share it with us here today...You are obviously a kind, caring soul who looks after others, it seems that is to be your task in life, you will leave your mark there with those you care for and also with your writing...and most of all for being you

    This is a poignant piece and skillfully penned with real emotion, even though not good ones for you...so sad but technically speaking, this poem is wonderfully balanced, successfully creating engagement and clearly conveying with consistency and smooth flow...

    I wish you all the best, you have been spotlighted by a lion friend

    That feeling of being passed by is something I can very much relate to. I've often asked myself why there are so many parents who have children and abuse them, and so many who would make wonderful parents but never get the chance. Being around babies is a joy to me, but always tinged with the sadness of not having any of my own. It is wonderful to see this sorrow from a man's perspective. Wanting to leave the legacy of your name is natural...and while there is nothing that can make up for that...I believe you can still find a way to make your mark on the world, and always be remembered.

    Thank you for sharing...
    Best wishes,
    ~J.

    the pain that you have expressed here I understand. At 53 I have never had a child. Now it is impossible for me to ever have childeren. But God has blessed me graeatly. I have children here my AP Children and I look at them as my own. I feel your pain I know what you are going through. Know that each individual you see, each poem you write has an effect on someone and you will be remembered, you will make an impression.

    This is a wonderful poem full of depth and emotion. the flow is good and the meaning is expressed with such pain and the compassion in you is evident.

    Blessings, *Go with God* my friend,

    Valerie

    I will have to agree with everyone else on this one. It holds so much pain inside and a disapointment of never having a chance, and what a feeling it is. Very good word choice...GETS

    A very sad lament on the disappointment of never being blessed with a child. Deep expression of emotion. You express your feelings so vividly in this piece, your pain is palpable. Thought provoking. Good word choice. Nice alliteration and assonance.

    This is so sad, as you way in your words. I can undertand your pain. You convey the emotions so readily and describe them so well. My heart goes out to you as one who understands.

    Oh the sadness in this one is heartwrenching! I don't know if it is fictional for you or not, But wow, if it is not, you really did a great job showing what someone in this position would feel. I have to agree with my Uncle Bear, the grammitical errors does hinder the reading a bit. Keep that pen of yours flowing.

    Utterly heart-wrenching. I think people assume that men can't have biological clocks. This poem definitely proves them wrong. It is wonderfully expressive and evokes an emotional response. Well done. >pixxie<

    The pain in this was so heartfelt, it came straight from the bottom of your emotions and made me feel along with you
    The flow was good, but I think you should capitilaise the I
    But I always forget that one too

    It's though provoking and wonderfully written
    Well done


    Feel better

    Hey there!

     

    Let me first start by saying...

    I think this is a good poem and a thought provoking write ~

     

    However....

     

    I think some of the grammatical errors took away

     from the flow and I had to slow down so I could

    grasp every thing you penned for us ~

     

    On the other hand, a very emotional

    and great effort within your chosen words ~

     

    Well done ~

     

    SMILE!!

     

    Bear ~
