Make a Wish

No greater need than my passion pleas for God and universe To tenderly answer my heartfelt, soul wrapped, constant wish, Thus effectively setting my sharp fears on course to disperse. Love for son grows more achingly ardent with each breath I swish, But no breath will bear ease while pining for dread’s passing whish. My challenged, gentle boy who now stands a challenged man, Revels in my home, by my hearth, where harmony is strong. Fears grow in me, seeded with thoughts of my limited lifespan. My maternal heart makes wishes to know that when I am gone My son’s fill of love and security will somehow be lifelong. ... CayCay July 8, 2016

Dear CayCay, what a heartfelt mother's wish that pained my heart as I read your prayerful plea. I agree with Connie...somehow angels will direct a way. A winner for sure and a 7 for me. Hugs, Sandra

CayCay, beautiful poem a 7 and good luck in the contest. People don’t understand that a child like this has always been loved and understand their needs that you so loving provide as much as you are able. life is hard out there for anybody to cope and it’s harder for a child with special needs they would lose their comfort love only a mother can give. Hugs Eve

I reckon you use the same proof reader I do ; ). I'm sure your wish will be granted. We all find love somewhere, we just need to reach out and accept it or close our eyes and remember those warm embraces and safety passed on by our parents,

My proof reader was quite tired, at the giggly stage! As always, it is good to find you. I sorta miss seeing the back of you ... CayCay
