where creative minds can interact
Soon
Here is the first of three of the next batch of poems I wrote last month....
I can almost see your face
And feel the joy it brings me
Your little hands reach for mine
But you're just out of reach
The tears slide down my cheeks
It troubles me deeply
The last time you left here
You were grounded
I'm not angry anymore
I just want to hold you
You bring me such joy
Your laugh, smile, & energy
They're so contagious
You light up the darkest corners of my heart
Truly, you are the greatest gift from God
I miss you, little one
Though you're growing up so fast
You're still my little boy
As the days pass
You'll need me less and less
But I know you love me
That love will remain as will mine
Though I may not need to tie your shoes
Or dress you anymore
You'll always need me somehow
No matter where I am
Know that I am with you
I think about you every single day
Whether we're apart or not
Our bond remains the same
Soon, my child, soon
I'll be home
And I'll hold you close
Hugs and kisses in abundance
Tears of joy will escape me
I cling to that day
Being apart from you is agony
It feels like a part of me is missing
But I know I'll see you soon
And then my heart will be whole again

The hardest part about being in jail was being away from my son. I remember when people would get pictures in the mail and I found such a need to see them, even though I didn't know them.
