For a moment Grant me a life time wish; To feel a mother’s love To know a mother’s touch To count on a mother’s kiss Allow me to know trust Only for a moment To be a child To belong to someone To be a jewel To be an answered prayer Only for a moment.…… Continue reading For a moment

A poke! . Hurt! . Drags her heart Dumps his heart To other hearts . Bruised and scared; Her heart His…… Continue reading Bare hearts.

I can’t begin to count how many times I cried over unanswered prayer. Those moments when I was convinced my prayers were honest and it was only fair for God to grant me what I had talked to him about; To have not lost an aunt that to me had perfectly filled in Mama’s shoes;…… Continue reading Unanswered prayer; a blessing.

They are big real big! I slowly place one foot after another in mama’s shoes; one then two wiggling my feet to fit .

But, I know that I couldn’t I…… Continue reading Dear Mona Lisa,
