Poem Title:
Poem
it has been a long journey for me this journey we call life with many twists and turns curves and dips . . . this puzzle not yet complete because of one missing piece each day I begin with a prayer will turn back the pages of time and sorrow no rock will be left unturned . . . so young and lost wanting only to be loved and love is what I found one night . . . my family sent me away in shame with no one to protect me or comfort me and when you were born I held you close to my heart and I knew the true meaning of love realizing their mistake the nurses pulled you from my arms . . . I dream of what could have been for us we could have made it in this world could have been so happy just you and me together why would no one give us a chance . . . have spent my life searching for you dreaming an impossible dream praying to find you somehow or somewhere to look into your face again my heart aches each day from searching and not finding . . . . then . . . by accident I found the answer why I could never find you you lay buried at the family tomb all these years a secret . . . why could my parents not tell me why did they let me search the world I will never get an answer for they lay buried too . . . had your name engraved on the headstone and I go there often to visit you found this special love again for a second time there is no greater love- than a mother and child and when my earthly life ends in heaven . . I will hold you once again my son ____________________________ July 23, 2013 Poetry/Free Verse/a long journey Copyright Protected, ID 07-494-451-23 All Rights Reserved, 2013, Constance La France Submitted to the Standard contest, When Love Reckons For A Second Time, sponsor, Nayda Ivette Negron, Judged 07/2013 Second Place
