Line Gauthier Poet Verse

Swiped Her Heart

She was blessed with one baby
Truly best part of her life
Shared custody with her ex

Simply took her breath away
He was growing up so fast
Little darling with big heart

Dad’s unsafe tires and black ice
Was all it took to return
Her lil’ angel to heaven

No number of told you so’s
Would ever change the outcome
In a daze she walks about
With a big black gaping hole
Where her heart used to once beat

Andrea Dietrich May 15, 2018 at 5:36 PM oh so sad, LIne. I hope it was not inspired by something that happened to someone you are close to. Line Gauthier May 15, 2018 at 7:00 PM It was actually a woman at work many years ago. Totally heartbreaking to see her try to keep it together.

Tom Cunningham May 15, 2018 at 2:17 AM To lose a child is unimaginable, sadly you hear of it sometimes, we surely have to count our blessings sometimes. Tom. Line Gauthier May 15, 2018 at 5:52 AM Unimaginable indeed. Thanks for your visit and comment, Tom.
