As if a Child, May I Come? Virginia Salter so often I felt myself longing for the opportunity of her lap for gentle words of understanding and an ear that listened well so often, as if a child, I wanted for her hug and her shoulder upon which to shed my tears yet I found it most difficult to really seek them when she was finally near and now her ears cannot listen her lap is naught but dust her arms of hugging are spent and gone no more can I seek the comfort she might give no more can I hope for words to help me live her opportunities are done, now, she can no longer Mother me, and I, when I am hurting, can no longer give to her my plea may I, then, not ever again be as a child may I only feign the wisdom of one grown, or does her spirit remain within the inner reaches of my heart will my Sovereign Lord allow her to touch me somehow? © August 5, 2000 |

Very nice, so soft and powerful. You captured your heart well in this piece. It is a lovely poem, a cherishable piece.  With the word, I am mighty, with the pen I am free.. dragonpoe |
