THE JOURNEY
It was a journey that began with a leap
And now in tiny steps I creep
Sometimes I stumble, Sometimes I fall,
But, Your hand reaches out as I call
Emotions pull me one way then another
And tears come tumbling down
Why did it have to be me
Why did it happen at all
You lose your cool and then are sorry
But, there’s nothing to be sorry for
For God decided in his wisdom
I was strong to carry all
But, I’m not alone upon this journey
For two are taking it together
I’m still the same person deep inside
With all my hopes and dreams
I’m still a part of this wonderful life
and always will be
All I need is you by my side
To be my love, my friend,
My guide

Elaine Morgan-Taylor Poem
COMFORT
I stand here, So very scared
But, you didn’t seem to care
I talked to you of how I felt
About what happened there
You said no words of comfort
No look of kindness showed
No arm came round my shoulder
To comfort and to care
No furious words of outrage
No soft endearing tones
No hand out-reaching
Just silence everywhere
I said those words
That showed you
How frightened I had been
I said,
You probably wouldn’t care
If something had happened there
Then slowly, I turn round
And look
Into the empty air
