I Miss My MotherI pick up the phone to call her
But she is not there
her phone is disconnected
I miss her laugh
Her voice inflections
I miss knowing she is where she is supposed to be
It has been five years two months and twenty-two days
Yet in a way, it seems like she passed yesterday
or maybe this morning
I miss her beef and...

A Fevered Night, Unscheduled Departure III creep into your room, my steps are unsteady,
You went to bed with symptoms of the flu,
A soft child’s breath is what I seek,
To touch, to comfort—to ensure peace.
But as I peel back the covers, I find
Your stillness is no longer sleep.
I call your name, my voice trembling,
Attempt to rouse you from your peace,
But you...

When black meets betrayalShe did everything she could
And yet somehow it wasn't enough
She did everything right
Yet she still lost the fight
From the very first moment She was born
She was was Stripped of her voice
There were complications with her mum
But before they could help she was gone
Her father was falsely imprisoned
The child was silent
But there was...

Oatmeal cookies and tea are served.
Playtime at the park will follow.

Echoes Pierce the SilenceI open Mother's sewing basket, letting my eyes and hands run over the tools she had used—the scissors, the darning egg, the pinking shears, the pins, the tattered, tomato-shaped pincushion, and spools of thread. I gaze at the metal spool-shaped bobbins remembering how, as a small child, I flushed them down the toilet creating...

A moment in life I’ll never forgetApril 24th 2018
time stood still
for I thought it was just another argument between my mother and father
was actually my mothers breaking point.
as the sun was setting and I was doing my best to distract the little ones
I heard her cry for help calling my name,
begging me to come
I flew a down the stairs...

In another life, I'd be your motherTo the world you are just a person
But to me you are the world
You are the rarest of the rare
To the point no one can compare
Every hug healing a piece of me you didn't break
Everytime you smile
I know that no matter what I go through
I'll always have you
You are my heart
And nothing...

The little girl at the muesumMuseums
A place full of stories
Of art
Not just in the paintings
But in the people too
A little black girl walking hand in hand with her mother
Her eyes lit up in wonder
Wandering what she would discover
While she walks around
Spinning around
And jumping up and down
She doesn't see
That everytime she jumps the light reflecting on her beautiful...

Where's My HomeMother – A Feeling
Mother...
An emotion, a shadow, a voice.
Whether she belongs to someone or not,
whether she’s with you or not,
everyone knows what a mother is.
Ask anyone, and only one answer comes—
Care, love, sacrifice.
She may not be present in her own life,
but she’s supposed to be in ours.
I don’t know what a mother really is,
but I...

Little GirlIt hit me just today
I saw her in a whole new way
Birthday dinner, just her and I
A thought brought a tear to my eye
Has always been "my little girl"
Now she's about to face the world
Seen her grace of a woman before
Now seeing so much more
Just a girl of seventeen
Trying to find life and what it...

Do Not Abandon Me"LOVE, just four letters for a very powerful word." By Poet
Why does life start out from a loving mother,
only to be given to another?
This loving mother cannot care for her,
as a tiny baby makes a stir.
A loving mother will sign papers that will cut like a knife,
making a decision effecting her and a new life.
This...
