THE KNOWING OF LOVE. (Part 3/7)
When a child arrives into our lives the reason why we do things changes and our focus is shifted dramatically.
DAY 3: The knowing of selfless love.
Our love for you
is the purest of loves
for it asks for nothing
and gives of everything,
ever
replenished with joy.
It is the love
of nurturing and protecting.
Our love for you
is the seed
of our seasons,
all our stories and memories,
for you to carry
into mythology.
You are a tender,
new bud
puckering expectantly
to life’s sweet milk.
A kiss of a fresh rose,
delicate and pure perfection,
pristine soul,
untainted
by the ways of the world.
My love for you
holds you
with fallible arms,
gently
so as not to crush
and tightly
so as not to drop
this precious, little tear.
Del Millar
So very wonderfully written, moves me.
Words to echo my own heart for precious little children.
Just beautiful to see this.

Thank you Del. I must say when I embarked on this journey on the knowing of love I had to relive, as best my memory served me, certain emotions that I have experienced and bring them back to light. The birth of my child, who is 18 now, by far has been the most illuminating, putting into perspective the fragilities of miracles. Thank you for the read…much appreciated.
Kristin Reynolds

cosimopiro replied
Yes indeed Kristin….and to think that we were that miracle once…..and hopefully still are! Blown out by your write by the way. xoxo

My life changed at that exact moment..i grew up more in nine months thank I did the previous years combine…love the magic of love in this piece and your words are as delicate as the newborn..
cosimopiro replied
Thanks mate…..I think it takes us blokes the nine months after to get over the dumbstruckness…..if there’s such a word. Pretty special time bro….still is. Thanks.
Lisa Jewell
Exquisite, you’ve captured a love so difficult to define, that moment a child is born; there is a new surge of love born too.x
cosimopiro replied
Too true Lisa. It opens a very special place within us…..you put it best when you say ‘a new surge of love is born too’....and it just keeps growing. Thank you Lisa, always a delight when I see you. xo

unconditional love ..a very kind beautiful poem and in my opinion, our only purpose for being here is to awaken selfless love, and let it flow to others, in this case your children-how lucky they are..
cosimopiro replied
Thank you Jane. It is I who is the lucky one. Greatly appreciate it.
erich biemer
the verse is human and giving in it’s gentleness….
cosimopiro replied
Human love Erich….with all our philosophies and religions, politics and wars, our searhes for divinity and pious devotions, our academic and material pursuits, so as to give us some meaning ….human love is probably the most real. Thank you Erich.
Mel Brackstone
I still remember when my first baby was born, 24 years ago….the love you feel for a newborn is just so all encompassing! Your words are so beautiful!
cosimopiro replied
Thank you Mel. It is something very special. Much appreciated
Christie Moses
They truly are the greatest gift in the word. The love you feel for them is pure and unblemished. Deeper than any other love. This is beautiful xx
cosimopiro replied
It is true. This love is the deepest of all….difficult to express in mere words but we’ll try anyway. Happy that you enjoyed it. Grazie! xoxo
ArcadiaTempest
So very true your words of love for our children….and children not even of our own making are we able to see the possibility of the possible….one does not have to be a parent me thinks to know this kind of love….it can be graced upon one’s heart when you are open to see the limitless wonder of new life… Lovely writing Cos….you me thinks are a gentleman of the true meaning…X
cosimopiro replied
I agree with loving children not of our own making…I am myself a “father” of two for 30+ years and a father of one for 18 years. My love for my children is fathomless. Thank you for your lovely insight and kind comment. xo
Shoaib .

cosimopiro replied

RavenSoul
WOW! You have put into words how I feel about my kids. Wonderful!
cosimopiro replied
That is great. So pleased that you find it so. Many, many thanks. Good cheers to you and your children.
Graham Povey
Our fallibility is our humanity…...It is a part of where our love comes from…to deny it is to deny truth!....To accept it is to live in love in the honesty of each moment
cosimopiro replied
True words Graham….thank you for your insight…...and again for you read. Your comment has an understanding of great depth. I appreciate it.
linaji
My love for you
holds you
with fallible arms,
gently
And then the flight that love takes them blows my mind.. I am so assured when I look to the children that life indeed gets better.. wow your series of verse exploring the differing aspects of what we call Love.. is mighty and full of your incredible heart. x
cosimopiro replied
It is my heart that sings and my hands that write, my eyes follow the music that is penned and I am made whole. Thank you, as always for your read and comments….they mean a lot.
lianne
An incomparable moment – the first gaze upon that tiny face, the first curl of tiny fingers around your own. There is quite simply nothing closer to divinity on earth than that moment – it’s as if your whole being lights up with awe at the sight of your own new born child. What an incredibly tender, gentle and yet passionate poem of endless, unconditional love. So very beautiful.
cosimopiro replied
It is a very special time….one that I recall from time to time as a reminder what life is about. Many thanks again for your read and comments.
