weeping she poured out her soul
knowing
that this would be
the last time
she would be able to contact them
words of love
poured forth
tears
traced lines
down her face
her quill
ran along the paper
saying all that could be said
though it would never be enough
silently
with trembling lips
she read
her words
she folded
the tear stained
stationary
then sealed it
with red eyes
would they read it?
would they care?
how she wished
she would be able
to see their faces
as a second thought
she wrote
on the bottom right corner
please take care
of my sweet baby child
I love her.
stealing silenty across town
holding her litttle infant
wishing it could be differnet
knowing that it couldn't
stopping on the stoop
she breathed into the
sleeping baby's ear
I love you
I wish I could keep you
be happy
sweet one.
sobbing loudly
she knocked on the door
and ran swiftly
under the cover
of night
Wishing
she could stop time
and stay with her baby
forever...
Here is another sad poem. This poem and my poem Memories were all stirred partly from this book series I have been reading. It is called Abraham's Daughters by Beverly Lewis.
I will be posting another poem soon. The thought also comes from this series...in a way.
I hope you all enjoy it!

Yes, it's sad, but beautifully written. Loved it :) Most of the times we focus on how hard it is for a child to grow up without his/her birth parents... but this poem shows how difficult it is for a mother to give up her child. Great job :) I love your poetry.
Wow! You have a gift! Fantastic poem, wonderful, wonderful!
I wish I weren't so horrible at poetry :P
Hi Wild Rose :-),
I left a message after a different poem, the last one on this page before I realized I could publish a comment here. Anyway, as I stated there, I love this poem. It is very poignant and makes a person think. Good job sweety!
Much love,
Nana
