He asked: “Why do you love me, <br />Even when I hurt you? <br />Even when I have nothing to offer? <br />Even when world is against us? ” <br /> <br />She smiled and walked away <br />Hiding those tears which threatened <br />To fall and form another stream <br />But, never answered that question <br /> <br />In her silent tears, <br />In her heart was the answer <br />Which was evident like daylight, <br />Which he failed to see or understand. <br />She whispered to herself: <br />“Will he ever understand <br />Why gardener loves his roses <br />Though they have hurting thorns? <br />Will someone tell him <br />Why a mother loves <br />Even her most deformed child? <br />Is it beyond his understanding <br />That love is beyond all reasons? ”<br /><br />Deepa Thomas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/he-and-she-2/
