Sappy Poem

I sold the world for you
and counted myself lucky
to hold you in my arms.

I traded the Seine and the Rhone
for your smile,
and got the better of the bargain.

I turned away from music
to listen to your even breaths
at the end of a peaceful day.

And when you left,
I walked through empty rooms
and found it hard to sleep
without the sounds of you.

I spent my youth
to buy those years with you,
and I know no regrets.

Was all that joy worth what I left?

Some day you'll have a son,
and you'll know
the answer's Yes.
(note: I apologize. I know it's a sappy poem, but when I start looking for birthday presents I get all goooshy inside and write this stuff. I won't do it again til next year. I promise.)

This is not sappy! It's very dear, and straight from the heart. I love it. ~K~

If this is sappy, the world needs a nice long spring...so the sap will run everywhere it can.

I know these thoughts and feelings.

If they are sappy, well, that's OK because I'm not proud.

Your words helped me tonight in ways I can not explain. Thank you.

Kahlil, thank you! Yes, it is straight from the heart, but I try not to let that part of it show too often.

Ratleader-you say the nicest things, and you say them better than most people I know.

Ethel, hugs right back atya, girl!

Icebox, I guess all us parents know these feelings. If I can ever help you, you know I'm here.

If this is sappy, then I'll ditto Oliver and say "more, please?" *S*
