      The Daughters’ Keeper

      A mother sits at home in her favorite room

      Rocking in a chair knitting a sweater

      As she gently threads the needle through

      The yarn

      She glances out the window.

      Suddenly!

      She finds herself taking a sentimental journey Through the past

      Reflecting, relating

      In addition, capturing moments in time.

      As she thinks back to the day

      Her daughter, Brandy went missing

      Without a trace

      She looks towards the bed at the pillows

      She has rearranged

      Moreover, fluffed time after time.

      She continues to stare as she tries

      To understand

      Nevertheless, reaching out too so many

      Mysterious wonders.

      A single teardrop rolls down her face

      Then the rain begins too pour

      She struggles to compose herself

      While reaching for a box of Kleenex

      From the drawer.

      Now this Mother has to prepare herself

      For the storm.

      It takes a very strong will to accept the

      Unfair hand that fate deals to you

      Without losing your mind

      Without questioning God.

      On the other hand, without being angry

      With God

      Without looking up towards Heaven

      And shouting

      My God Why Have Thou Forsaken Me?

      With fervent hope though exhausted

      She has never lost her grasp of hope

      Or faith.

      Through echoes of the heart

      Like an artist painting a canvas

      She captures an image of her daughter in her mind

      Slowly to the cross this mother climbs

      Taking every step with love

      Every step with grace.

      Brandy is pretty as a picture

      Footloose and fancy free

      Her mother can see her clearly

      Too the point that she reaches

      Out to her with open arms

      Yearning, however never touching her at all.

      A Poets’ Letter

      Dear Ms. Parent,

      Some folks might say that you have

      Run out of time

      Other folks might say the cold case file

      Is closed

      Move on from the past

      Your hope is just a dream.

      However, I say to you my friend

      Do not allow yourself to curl up

      In the shadows of despair.

      Folks can say or whisper what they may?

      However, they cannot see

      The bruises imbedded in your soul.

      Nor can they feel the stitches in

      Enjoying the preview?
