YOU ONLY YOU

YOU, ONLY YOU!

You, only you of all the endless world
Can bring a joy to me one ever brought,
Make life a paradise on earth for me,
My only hope in life to burden lift.
Life dealt me blows so hard to bear,
A test of fortitude it was, but I don’t care.
Joy was denied me, was in fact a fruitless toil,
To fail in life, I guess, is not a feat to boast,
Live means to love and to be loved in turn.

About this poem:

Something like a whole word acrostic, following my fellow poet's suit!

Thank you for bringing back Marikia! I don't get a chance to go under each poet and read all their poems due to time restriction.

Yes Marikia - you can write poems.

Now that I stumbled on it, I hope it is not too late to thank you, Niah, for the comment, but it so happens that “sometimes too late is just in time” (C.J. Carlyon) Kindest regards!
