Love's Arms Poem by Della Perry

Love's Arms

Rating: 4.4


Love opened his arms, he welcomed me
Into that warm embrace
But it wasn't enough, not enough for me
I was still part of the race.
I slipped through the fingers, running solidly
Into the darkness ahead.
I didn't look around me
I didn't see my feet
Just days ahead of dread.
Love opened his arms, he welcomed me
Even though I scoffed
He remained there, he took away the fear
He showed he cared.
Yes, love opened his arms, welcomed me into the embrace
The warmth of that love
And I cling on still
With all my might
Thanking the Lord above.

I wrote this when contemplating the grief of losing a much loved father, and how my husbands love had helped me to cope with loss.

Thank you for poet's note! ! Husbands or husband's OR husbands'? Lucky you. Maybe I should have met a guy like that? But, NO! I settled for women, who we all know only take and never give....except more grief. (Kidding of course; Della is probably a different kind of woman from what I've usually experienced.) Bri :)

A touching poem expressing mixed human feelings, on one hand grief on a big loss, on the other love asking the human to live for love, as love is immortal, it never dies just changes it's shape.
