My Double Trouble- Vol. II( I never knew Love)

I was reading through an e-book in a borrowed Kindle Paper White and my thoughts suddenly went to my two sleeping daughters’ right beside me. I remembered parts of this poem and I still had difficulty tracking down the poet.  I read it on Facebook some years ago. After hours of browsing I finally came to the name Maurice Yvonne. It was like a wild goose chase in the internet. This poem best describes my love for my daughters. Some of the lines are of my own. With due respect to the poet...

For every tear you shed from hurt

physical or emotional

For every tear you shed from shame

rightly or wrongly

My loves

my heart sheds a beat

I never knew love

 Azhims with Mom

Until I knew you

I love you both

from my tippy toes

to the peak

of my silver threads

Don't hurt my dears

But when you do

I will hold you tight

Encase your fears

Minimize the pain

And when my heart bleeds

or slightly feels a crack

It's because my daughters

your lives before mine.

I love you so much girls...
