Jenny Santiago Poems

It was the morning of the 27th of March 1985.
Me a 14 year old girl, with hopes, dreams feeling so alive.
The day was as any school day would be to me and you.
Home time quarter to two
...

For now it feels like a time of yore,
When you touched my heart like none before
The sheer wonder made old become new,
Covering my heart with morning dew
...

SEARCHING FOR MY STAR:

After years of darkness, there came light.
So far but yet so bright
...

I lost my tender heart, on beautiful eyes that saw good in me.
On beautiful lips that spoke words of kindness setting me free
There is a vast distance apart.
Must I say this out loud, keep still oh tender heart.
...

The first time I say your little face,
I understood the term morning grace.
You were encapsulated in my heart,
From that moment I never wanted to be apart.
...

Come with me to my majestic place of glee,
My place that I call, the wonder of Three.
Where the air will flow through your mind and soul,
Where nature heals, making you whole.
...

Deep within your mind is a chamber called the great escape,
Mine is filled with memories of the breathtaking Cape.
A beauty that plays within your heart,
Expressing this in words is a difficult story to start.
...

Still your mind … Delight,
Contrasts and wonder.
Take your time, do not hurry -
Reflect and ponder.
...

Happy 13th birthday my special one
My beautiful Connor, my beautiful son
Thanks be to God, you're growing so fast.
What's inside you, are things that will last.
...

Life occasionally without emitting a single chime
Sends us people for a reason, a season, or a lifetime
They seem like they are a godsend, and that they are.
At the right moment, becoming your binary star.
