It is not possible
to capture
the fleeting, the subtle
To capture the racing
the forceful flow
that bubbles over
inside, boundless
forever unyielding
Canyons exist where
my love for you
goes, visits
To trek this land
would be eternity
To lay waste the fertile
ground, unfolding
shielded
No! I cannot
capture this love
for it is too vast
to contain
It runs wild
in its rawness, its force
Be gone forever
into my soul
running side by side
through the mind
Laughing, playing
loving, crying
Never forgetting all
the while
the boundless love
of my child.

If you are a parent, you may understand that feeling that can overwhelm you when you miss your child. Or perhaps, just the sheer joy and love they bring to you that overwhelms your soul from time to time. I wrote this poem after a very long and extended time, living apart from my son, when he was just a wee lad and I was many, many miles away.

Beautiful! I’m not a parent, but I could relate to the boundless love. I could relate as to the love I felt for my father and other family members. Great work 🙂

Hey nick! Thank you so much my friend! It is a deep and profound love. I believe that is true for some children as well as your love for your father. At least I hope my son feels as you do. Cheers!
