Love Poem: Love Lock

Love Lock

My precious children, grown or small,
How blessed I am to have you all.

No barter, gold, or diamonds rare,
Can ever pluck you from my care.

No family's perfect, that's for sure,
But love like ours will yet endure.

Divergent forces wrenched us apart,
Still we stayed united in our hearts.

To laud you safe from hurts and harms,
I'll lock you, captive, in my arms ...

And naught but time will loose my hold,
For love's stead purchase can't be sold.
