Do you know what you’ve done
To the children you shun
Their sweet hearts you have broken
With the words you have spoken
...
Come a little closer baby
I need to breathe you in
Come a little closer darlin’
I need to feel your skin
...
Many years have passed,
With feelings deeply buried.
Your incredible persistence abounding,
You find me after all this time.
...
My sweetest darling dears
how oft Ive shed some tears
looking upon your faces
remembering tender embraces
...
When you were born it was an instant love affair
I rocked you, swaddled you, sang to you,
Read to you and walked you round and round
We played and learned together.
...
Dont underestimate the power of prayer
Miracles can happen anywhere
With faith the size of a mustard seed
Oh, it'll happen, it will happen indeed.
...
A hand touches the small of my back.
By your gentle touch I know it is you.
You turn me around, caress my cheek.
Strong arms fold me in.
...
My heart physically aches
My body, it quakes
Awful loss that I feel
...
Roses climb the wall outside your room
Sweet scent floats through the window
Reminding you of me and what you’ve lost
...
Impulse strikes hard and fast
Problems and issues of the past
Remain unsolved
And yet
...
The gypsy’s skirt twirls
Her earrings jangle
Her smile radiates
Her laughter penetrates
...
If anything happened to me
If my body were to break
If my last breath called your name
Would you know?
...
When the days were cold and dreary
When my woeful life was weary
When my heart had been forsaken
When every step seemed mistaken
...
lips quiver yeilding kisses
body shudders with delight
deeper now and deeper still
lost in the passionate heat
...
From NY to Ft. Lauderdale to Tallahassee, FL and three beautiful children later, I'm still standing, heart healed with God's grace. Now they are grown and I'm going home again....just not sure where 'home' is...guess I will have to see where my heart lands. I've gone from high school teacher to mental health therapist, working trauma, substance abuse and eating disorders with mostly adolescent girls. Always a work in progress myself, I surrender, for I was never in control in the first place. Please take the time to read if you will and let me know if something sparks your interest or touches you somehow.)
Mother And Son
My son
I am here
I cannot protect you
From the world.
My son
I am here
I can only love you
No matter what
My son
I am here
My love unconditional
On this you can rely
My son
I am here
To guide and to teach you
And now you must fly
My son
I am here
Life can be difficult
I hear your cry
My son
I am here
Changes are painful
Never forget who you are
My son
I am here
Maintain the faith
In yourself and in God
My son
I am here
Self acceptance is yours
Do not fear
My son
I am here
