Grace, could I use a third person and not me? This is a wonderful theme and I will definitely find time to write something despite my hectic schedule.

My Parent's Unconditional Love
http://www.cindyclarklaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/parents_with_child_on_beach.jpg
My father was from the North
while my mother was from the South
I had no idea how they exactly met,
except my father gave up his bus seat
They worked hard everyday for a living
and provided me with good breeding
Turned days into nights
just to keep both ends meet.
I remember when I was little
my parents held me tenderly,
for my bones were brittle
They showered me with love and affection
until I finished college, I got their full attention
Never did they complain about my occasional tantrums
even if my repeated shouts of rebellion,
could break their bones and aging eardrums.
They never asked anything in return,
for they know the day will come to be my turn
How I wish they were still here,
so I can shower them with love and care
Unfortunately they died early
without getting the love they shared so tenderly
I envy those who share their bundles of joy
may it be a girl or a boy
I know it will always be a parent's delight
For I am now in their caring shoes
trying to keep everyone see nothing
but the bright, shining light.

True Love Sorrow
Boy: I want you to tell me how much you love me.
Girl: I love you with all my heart. Why?
Boy: I just love hearing you tell me.
*he hugs her tightly*
Girl: Honey promise me, I'll have you forever.
Boy: *wipes away a tear* Yes my sweet love, I promise.
Girl: Why are you crying, did I do something wrong?
Boy: I'm crying because you're the center of my whole world.
Girl: *kisses him softly* Your the center of mine too.
Boy: What would you do if I was going to die?
Girl: I would give anything to keep you alive.
Boy: I want to be your knight and you my princess.
*boy holds girl tightly and silently cries.*
*The boy was beat up by the bullies at school one day. They beat him so hard that he was going to die. He needed a heart to live this horrible crime.*
Boy: *wakes up in hospital* Father where is she?
Father: Son she told me to give you this.
Boy: * reads note: I told you I would do anything to keep you alive and I meant it. I gave you my heart, so you'll always have me. I love you so much, your sweet love.*
Boy: Why did you let her do this?! I can't live without her!! *he yelled in anger and pain*
Father:I'm sorry son I tried to talk her out of it, but there was nothing I could do.
Boy: *cries her name*
*The day after he left the hospital, the boy cuts his wrist and left a note of only a few words.*
*Note: I told you that you'd have me forever. If I can't have you here, then I'll go to you.
I love you baby-girl*

Smile
The shadow across my heart
Is not deeper or darker
Than the wound that you left me
I gave up hope for us
Long ago, and I'm finally
Thinking that I could be happy
But you turn my world
Upside down all over again
And I can't breathe
But I would ask you to save me
Because I know that it hurt you
To turn me down
I sacrifice my happiness
Because I love you
And always want to see you smile
Even if it's not towards me

Early Promises
He sits in the forest
peace for himself
Empty moments alone
only loneliness felt
He thinks of a woman
she can never be his
He wants her beside him
partnership bliss
Her eyes saying sorry
she looks at him
He knows that her heart
A woman will win
She smiles at him
loves like a friend
He feels much more
wants it to end
She thinks he is ok
one day will find love
He cannot let go
he takes it above
She found him sleeping
He will never wake
Who she can love
not her mistake.
