Can't Imagine

Listen to poem:

I can’t imagine my life Without you The silence Through the night Sometimes In an effort To push back The emptiness To freeze time I refuse to sleep Just stay awake And hold you in my arms Published in my 24-page photo/anthology ~CAN'T IMAGINE~ 2020 AP: 3rd place 2022 Posted on March 1, 2019

Line, I remember staying awake for hours watching each of my newborns, making sure they were breathing, marveling that I had ever survived life before they had arrived. This poem reminded me of these days immediately! Thank you for writing this one. It brought me such joy!
