VersErotica
Love Poems by H. Paul Shuch, Ph.D.
copyright � 1993

Reflections Of Ourselves

The son which you have given me,
The daughter that you bore
Are far more than reflections of ourselves.
For they are individuals
Who learn, and yearn, and grow
Beyond our intervention or control.

And as I see the sacrifice
You make in their behalf,
The unrequited giving of yourself,
I know yours is the greatest love
That anyone could ask
Another human being to bestow.

The day will come when they are gone,
And then our lives will change.
We'll have the time for you and me again.
And our love will be stronger
For the knowledge that we share,
That part of us continues for all time.
