"Love Never Fails"

"Priceless"

Another one I wrote when I thought I was going to be a father... I feel dumb about that whole situation, but I think this poem is beautiful!

The past is a plaster caste.

I ask to remove it fast,

I'm last to the master's task,

And my loved ones stand aghast.

Hoping for the best,

So my soul will rest.

This could just be a test,

Or it could become a mess.

But I'm willing to prove,

That I am who,

My father never knew,

He won't grow like I grew,

With no dad to tell him truths.

I want to be there,

To see his stare.

To see her heart laid bare.

To show that I care,

And that I would never dare,

Let them walk alone,

In this world's hateful glare.

Take my hand and see,

Step into the next journey.

I don't know what's in store,

On the other side of the shore.

But we'll walk to that beach,

Along the way,

We'll have things to teach.

To each other,

To a child.

Your name is mother,

It's just your style.

Am I a father?

Will I know after a while?

I don't know the truth,

But I'll try my best.

My child's innocent youth,

Will put my mind at rest.

Just think of how,

It feels to see your child's face.

Like a diamond in your arms,

A floating chill of niceness.

Protect them from harm,

Your child's love is priceless.
