rita francis Poems

There are moments and places been
where simple expressions cannot erase
those tender lapses in life's tale
where one can rarely regale.
...

Today has brought with it
the promise that the hurt
will fade, the dreams will
subside, and the heartache
...

I dream of you
yet I know that you are gone
that your spirit is no
longer mine to behold
...

and found me in the midst of despair.

You came
...

There I looked out and you saw me
a waif in search of a home
you gathered me up in your arms
and carried me to safety
...
