Soft ...... [love; Relationships; Life; Soft Things (Of Course!) ] Poem by Bri Edwards

Soft ...... [love; Relationships; Life; Soft Things (Of Course!) ]

Rating: 4.0


Soft was the bunny, pulled from his hat of tricks,
and soft were the marshmallows, we used to roast on sticks.
Soft was our wedding-gift-comforter, on our bed at night,
and soft were the vacation clouds, rolling out of sight.
Soft was the mud, through which our first dog did run,
and soft were the words my wife Emily spoke, when with our baby she had fun.
Soft was our Susie's processional music, to my anxious ears,
and softly down the bride's Mother's cheeks, rolled warm soft tears.
Soft were my Love's lips sixty years ago, when I first kissed them,
and softer still became my heart, the day the angels took up my Em.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
the ideas for this poem were drawn from reality. but i never had a wife named emily, and, as far as i know, none of them have died. and i don't profess to believe in angels, though my mind is open. and i'm not old enough for this story to be completely true. hope you liked it. i just started with the title SOFT in my head and went from there. bri

Sixty years ago when Bri was only nine, he was so soft that every thing looked soft to him. Now when he is somewhat hard he could not forget the charms of softness. A beautiful poem by my lovely friend.
