Rosy Child by Ing Twi Demalah

I would, that, were it possible
You had not felt the touch of pain
Nor, through sorrowful tears
Known the bitter taste of heart break
I wish that words never hurt to hear
But far to often we know their sting
If only your young eyes
Had not sadness seen
Or that you had never smelled
The wilted roses when hope dies
And yet, without such I wonder,
Would you be half so wise and caring
Would your eyes so clearly sparkle
Or your heart so brightly shine
Had you not, by such fires been refined
So my love, do not at those times despair
When such trials in your life appear
For even from life’s bitter grapes
May wine be made both sweet and mild
Thus hold fast unto your hope
My dearest, rosy child

I'm like Terrie*
I've missed you too. Ing Twi! Great words of encouragement here. Whoever it is for, if they knew you've written it for them, I'd bet they'd feel more motivated and determined than ever before to carry on through life's trials...

Lovely poem Ing!
