Love's sweet dilemma

Each week poet Ronovan Hester sponsors a Haiku prompt challenge, and folks (like me) try to follow his lead. This week the two words are obsessed and you. If you have interest in this art form, please click on his name and you'll be guided to his website where you'll find detailed instructions.

A few weeks ago, I was at a large family gathering. I couldn't help but notice one of my nephews. He was radiant as he played with his little daughter. Their joy was contagious, and it is they who are the inspiration for today's poem, using the prompts of obsessed and you.

A wonderful description of the pull love has on us all. No matter which way it takes us, the joy of love is in the heart.

There can be nothing purer than the love between parent and child. You captured it here perfectly.

Love the poetry Gwen and the picture adds so much depth to the words. Pure joy comes when you see a child with their parents in this way.
