A Parent's Heartbreak
Septolet Collection
My hands
are tied,
my heart
is breaking
*
as you lie in
the
ICU.
****************************************
I have
not known
what to do
since you
became
*
an adult
and moved.
****************************************
All your
decisions
and
actions
*
now are poor and
damaging to your
future life.
****************************************
The phone call
I’ve always
dreaded
*
receiving,
getting at 1 AM,
breaking my
heart.
****************************************
Knowing
nothing
I can do for
you is the
*
worst
feeling
in the world.
****************************************
All I can do
now is pray
to the
Almighty
*
that you
recover
completely.

Ludacris and Nelly draw backlash over bookings at MAGA-coded music festival
Ludacris and Nelly headlining a mostly right-wing event is good for them. It’s also great for the genre of hip hop. The two rap veterans have showcased their talents on other stages. Why can’t they perform for mostly MAGA folks and grab that bag?

I hope that the situation has become much better since this was written. I never want to get that call, so i imagine your heartache. Hugs and many blessings to all. Prayers sent . Sad but great TS.
My words are a poor excuse for comfort, but I am holding you in my thoughts. I know you don't know me, but please reach out if you need to talk.
OH my goodness, sending so much love and holding you close to my heart.
These are great and I’m sorry for the heartache- which many times gives inspiration for such beautiful pieces of writing.
