Brooke Nofer Poems

My mother wrapping me up so warm and holding me close
The grasp of strong but gentle hands as me dad bounces me on his lap
The love I feel when I am wrapped in His embrace
You and I waiting, searching, cyring for a child that will never come
...

If I can just hold them back
Hold back the thoughts that judge
The thoughts that mock people
If I can just hold back the words
...

I know my A.B.C.'s and my 123's
I know all about the birds and the bees
I have made a living off the things I earn
I have learned all there is to learn
...

You
So stong and capable of anything
Me
So helpless and wounded
...
