It’s been so long,
as time trickles away
that I’ve checked into this space.
All was going great,
no lamenting to regret.

Thank God you are here.


Embarrassment crowded me in the midst of this.
All was going great
and then, it hit me,
hauling me, howling in my ears.

Eyes stung with the oncoming paranoia,
the fear becoming a vacuum,
a void, veering me to an empty room.

There was no lamenting,
no teary eyes.
I was in “control”,
until I wasn’t.

Thank God you are here.


Shaking and simpering,
face red with self inflicted resentment,
you reminded me I’m only flesh and bone.

There are times
when even the strongest
need someone to hold onto

    I love the last three lines. It’s very true how “there are times when even the strongest need someone to hold onto”. Beautiful poem and family pictures.

    ” a quiet hand in the storm,
    a voice that says I see you,
    even when you’ve gone still,
    even when your light flickers
    beneath the weight of silence
    thank god for you ❤️”

        Thank you, it’s been quiet. Dealing with my daughter not talking to me and not being able to see my grandson. Missed seeing them for Thanksgiving, but God is helping me through it. It does make it harder with the holidays but I will be okay.
