Sara Chansarkar Poet Verse

Those Moments Oceans Away

I live so far oceans away
can’t get up and visit when I want

just hear about all the joys and sorrows
weddings, births and demises
successes and failures

how I wish to live those moments
to lock forever in my sight
the day his baby girl was born
my brother’s face fill with delight

to help soak her tears
I wasn’t there for my sister
when her husband died
kept on calling she couldn’t talk
the time was to hug and hold

Connie Marcum Wong August 14, 2016 at 4:10 AM Boy can I identify with the sadness in this poem Sara. My family lives over 2,500 miles across the ocean. We save for their trips to visit when they can. A very touching poem that really hits home! ; ) 7

Sandra Haight August 12, 2016 at 9:06 PM Sara, so heartfelt and sad, but so emotionally conveyed by the words in your well-written four forms or poetry. Best wishes for the contest. 7 Hugs, Sandra
