Rose Falcone Poems

My son
I am here
I cannot protect you
From the world.
...

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.
...

Faith
Hope
Love
Faith prevails
...

You’re so angry
Tension palpable
Afraid to feel
Afraid to be
...

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.
...
