Silver Lining

You are the jewel of our family 
The star of our home 
Nothing in the past prepared us for our crosses 
Nothing prepared us for this present roam 

I am here writing a poem for you 
I do not yet know if you would get it
But it was the way I first got through 
Hopefully, the universe finds a way to deliver it 

Loving you got hard through some choices 
I struggled to be kind and gentle
Loving you is what my heart chooses  
I have only known joy when I choose you 

There is a poem in every heart 
This is the one my heart is writing 
There is a possibility of a new start
This is me reaching out for a silver lining
