Once Spinning Without a Plan
My fate was unknown
Empty soul echoes
Calling, crying, craving more
Where do I
Fit in
Will my strength endure?
*
I search for comfort
My soft place, haven, my home
Forsaken
Sullied
my fate is unknown.
*
The sands of time slip
pass through my fingers with speed
Stains of
yesterday
Unsure what I need
*
Clouds part, sun peeks through
An infant arrives, eyes bright
Innocence
a gift
He fills me with light.
*
I searched for purpose
Once spinning without a plan
my fate is
now known
I’ll raise little man.
*
He shrieks with surprise
A lizard runs past his toes
The squirrel
Does dance
Right before his nose.
*
Cornflower blue eyes
Widen with wonder, delight
A rainbow
A plane
A bird that takes flight.
*
His chubby fingers
Reach to grab my older hand
“Look at me!”
He shouts
On one leg, he stands.
*
His giggles, his laugh
His song, music to my ears
He hasn’t
A clue
How he blessed my years.
*
On my darkest days
He filled my bruised heart with light
Warmth, comfort
And hope
Our duo shines bright.
*
My comfort is him
With his warm breath by my side
my fate
is his love
This grandchild of mine.
*
Once empty now full
Laughing, singing, hugs galore.
Our love
My comfort
Is forever more.
