Both Sides Now Poem by Lyn Paul

Both Sides Now

Rating: 4.5


Sharing your children
A major loss to a parent
For one
Whose children
Are all that they live for
They breathe for nothing more

For You have raised them into
A beautiful soul
A soul you want to grow
With selflessness

When you cannot provide them
With the cookies and cream
The other partner gives
Brings a little sadness

You want them to see both sides
Yet sometimes they only see one
Dollars always beat natural beauty
Excitement beats simplicity

For a child
Power takes over
In far to many forms

How does one explain
The loss they truly feel
When only you see both sides

Life does give too many blows
To those same people
Over and over again

The ones with the power
Are so blind
For they shall never see
Both Sides

A beautiful, soul reaching write. Yes, The power that comes with money. It destroys and ruins so much.

I have experienced the same, but even tho the kids may not see both sides now, they do appreciate the time and love as much as the material and will appreciate it even more as they become adults. Peace, Lyn.

An in intense write with emotions and sentiments. We are after so many material gains but our mind ultimately needs love and caring what we forget at last within the crowd of foppishness and cheap gains. Very well addressed.

The children of separated parents usually see only one side! Children will stay with the more powerful with more money! But what is needed more is love and care and they should be allowed to have the love of both father and mother! I can very well read your concern and anxiety Lyn!

From what I see love wins in the end the rest is just fluff. I am sure in the end truth and love will be there.
