Bertha Gonzalez Poems

My childhood was such a magical time. My memory takes me back
so many years ago. I had a little friend, my best buddie,
we played together all the time.
We walked the dusty country roads, hand in hand.

Father, where are you? You called me into being. Was it in a
moment of LOVE for me, or my mother, or was it just a moment
of selfish desire? I saw you only briefly. And then you were gone!
I needed you to hold me to your heart-so I may know LOVE.
...

Today I had surgery, My heart was removed. It was not bad,
it was not sick. (it was filled with love for only you.)
you did not use any pain killer, I had to experience all the
pain involved, to be sure it was removed.
