A Poetry Connection
My son was made a bishop
And he came to visit one day,
I want to show you my ring, he said,
If I may.
Did you ever see anything,
As precious as this Holy thing?
But Momma then extended her hand,
And showed me a more precious band,
Her wedding ring. Continue reading ““The Most Precious Thing” – A Poem by Sid Spano- Happy Birthday Dad! I Love You!”
Give me a place of belonging
A place to rest my head,
Where there’s safety, and there’s comfort
Where I can put my thoughts to bed.
Show me like-minded people
Who have rooms there of their own, Continue reading “A Poem About Respite and Belonging-“Niche””
Tall
Slender…
Then plump
Sharp/Soft
Hurtful/Pleases…
In a twisted fashion
Teases…
Takes me where I want to go.
My friend
In good times and bad Continue reading “A Poem to Get You Pumped-“Destination Unknown””
Where are you going little girl?
You look lost
Did you lose something?
Are you looking for a path to somewhere?
You look frightened
Did you lose your parents?
Do you have any sisters or brothers?
What about friends?
You’re far too young to be all alone
Especially in the woods Continue reading “A Poem About Hope-“The Promise””
Time is not a friend of mine
Still, I am trailing along,
I’m either killing it
Or it’s killing me
The days can be so long. Continue reading ““Time””
I love today, because it is new
Like a beautifully wrapped package
you can open slowly,
To savor the excitement and suspense.
Then,
It presents itself to you.
Looking at it from all angles Continue reading “A Poem of Gratitude-“Friends””
Come winter, the water will freeze
The water will stop spinning
Power will die.
E-motion will rest.
It rises up from the water in spring
and thrusts forward
everything that was still and hidden. Continue reading “A Poem about Cycling-“Empowered by a Waterwheel””
Adam is my twin son that passed away when he was only 13 days old. I have several poems I’ve written for him over the years, especially around his Birthday, so I will be posting more of them as time goes on.
I gave birth to Adam and Matt, pre-maturely, at 24 weeks. Matt was in the NICU for 3 months following, and with his brother’s help, made it over every hurdle that faced him. Matt has no repercussions from his early birth. He is 20 years old now, very happy and healthy, and a blessing to me; as was his brother.
To say Adam’s passing has been the most difficult, life-changing experience of my life, would be a gross understatement. That said, however bittersweet it may be, Matt and Adam are two miracles God granted to me, and to the world, and I am forever grateful.
It was
Somewhere safe
Untouched;
Unscathed
Waiting for me,
It was mine
Until I reached it; then Continue reading “A Poem About Running the Race-“Wings””
Come, and keep me company
Yours was not too good to part,
Come, let’s make a brand new start. Continue reading “The Diamond Ring Effect-“Eclipse””
