In loss …<\/p>\n
My heart ached with the memory
\nMy thoughts lingered on his history
\nMy soul cried in its misery
\nMy body quaked with the finality<\/p>\n
In writing…<\/p>\n
My heart found expression
\nMy thoughts posed its question
\nMy soul sought compassion
\nMy body gave up its aggression<\/p>\n
In remembering ….<\/p>\n
My heart is filled again
\nMy thoughts of him remain
\nMy soul struggles to retain
\nMy body cries in vain<\/p>\n
In sharing …<\/p>\n
My heart found compassion
\nMy thoughts found solace
\nMy soul found hope
\nMy body found peace<\/p>\n
In losing my son at age fifteen
\nMy life was turned upside down<\/p>\n
In writing I found a connection
\nWays to express the inexpressible<\/p>\n
Through blog and verse and prose
\nI shared my painful journey<\/p>\n
And even if my mother was the only one to ever read them
\nOur tighter bond is reward enough<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
