than words can say.
In every moment,
every day,
your absence leaves
an empty space
that nothing ever
will replace.

Nearly a year ago today,
you said goodnight and slipped away.
A sea of tears inside my heart
marks every day we’ve been apart.

She lost a child and understands.
Committed to a healing path,
I laid my heart out in her hands.
Holding Hearts

My heart reached out, but
but you weren’t there.
Undone, I nestled
in your chair
and felt your warmth
surround my soul.
For one sweet moment
I was whole.

What is your move
the day you realize
no matter what goes down,
worse things can smite you?

Love is patient.
Love is kind.
Love lives on
in heart and mind.
Homecomings and Goings

Come home to me, my child; come home.
Dance on the words of a mother’s poem…
stepping-stars across the sky,
shining bright to draw you nigh,
spun from gossamer and love,
heart-notes sent to heaven above.
