For Devin and Me

 

It’s Bedtime For Devin

In a world of lollipops and candy,
It’s all sugar and spice,
And it’s bedtime for Devin.

In a world full of puppies and kittens,
It’s all soft and fluffy,
And it’s bedtime for Devin.

In a world full of rainy days and snow storms,
It’s all warm blankets and hot chocolate,
And it’s bedtime for Devin.

In a world full of toy cars and trucks,
It’s all fun and games,
And it’s bedtime for Devin.

In a world full of Elmo and Scooby-Doo,
It’s all smiles and laughter,
And it’s bedtime for Devin.

In a world full of Mommies and Daddies,
It’s all hugs and kisses,
And it’s bedtime for Devin.

In a world full of teachers and school,
It’s all about growing and learning,
And it’s bedtime for Devin.

In a world full of Grandparents and Nama’s,
It’s all full of families and love,
And it’s bedtime for Devin.

In a world full of sweet dreams and guardian angels,
It’s all full of hopes and promises to come,
And now it’s bedtime for Devin.

Their Secret

 

They were two little girls,

young and innocent were they.

Their youth he would soon unfurl,

victims of a child’s love thrown away.

 

Not a word, he had them swear,

this, they knew they had to obey.

Left in confusion and unaware,

their world completely changed that day.

 

A secret between them, they would keep.

Afraid of what their Mother might say.

Alone in the dark the girls would weep,

Their Daddy hurt them and trust did betray.

    It's bedtime for Devin, is the sweetest poem, so full of the love you feel for this little innocent person who knows nothing of what the real world is like. Someday - but hopefully not too soon!

    Personally, I didn't get into it.  The first was a bit repetitive, but it was still an interesting read.

      secretly-broken

      This was an entry to a contest. The first poem I ever wrote here on AP and the last one of 2007. They were two totally seperatre poems. The first was a poem I wrote for my grandson to help him learn to read. He read it everyday and started to enjoy reading. the second explains itself in its notes in the poems own page.

    it just happens that the two are so totally different in them. it does add a nice contrast to see them together. I see writing very much as healing for you..even if they are not written about you or yours... it tends to be more a stream of thought. ty for entering.

    contrasts...

    What a heart wrenching contrast between the first poem and it's innocent joy and the pain and hurt of the second... left me feeling a bit gutted my friend! Great work! Good luck in the contest!
