They seem to smile and laugh just like others, <br />And speak with involvement like everyone; <br />But deep within their hearts, something bothers; <br />They don’t enjoy like most, the rain and sun! <br /> <br />Sometimes, they pray with fervor most intense; <br />They don’t relish the tastiest of foods; <br />Their moods vary from joyful to ones tense; <br />At times, they find themselves lost in deep woods. <br /> <br /> Their life’s bereft of something quite serious; <br />Their earthly journey seems directionless; <br />They seem to miss something very precious; <br />For many years, they still remain childless! <br /> <br />They had all things in life they desired; <br />Without a heir, they both have retired! <br /> <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 4-10-2010<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-on-being-childless/
