How
on earth
can one live
with loved-one's pain?
From his very birth
true love has flowed like rain,
but now is the time to give
understanding, true grace, real space.
Fill their need, not the one in your head.
Will it be enough? Can it really help?
Only real love can fill the huge void they feel,
set a beautiful table and serve them this meal.

Author Notes
Thank you Bunkie for the beautiful artwork.
The Duodec-liner poem (duodec = prefix meaning ?twelve-?) is a twelve-liner.
As in the Etheree poem, the first line is a one-syllable word, the second line has two syllables, the third has three, and so forth, concluding with a twelve-syllable line.
Unlike the Etheree, the Duodecliner must express an opinion or pose a question, and include at least six lines that end in a rhyme. The last two lines comment on the opinion, or answer the question.
