It's Sunday

hello
above I think you are
or all around
that star

can’t say that I’ve not looked away
a stray
but I used to be Sunday’s child
licking that gold star beside my name in school
and every night I laid me down
my soul
what was that I didn’t know
but didn’t want to die before I woke
forsaken..no no

I asked you to help me back then when I was ten
with something bigger then I have known since
put my hands out into the dark
in my room with the closet I feared and asked
just needed to know what to do

and while I’m at the questioning
I’ve been wondering about that angel
I called Michelle
you know she was special she was
most for me a first big love
and my prayer was big that day
I know I’d faltered earlier and now I was in need
all of a sudden I asked
..is that greed

to take a child who was loved so dear
this tear is all you gave to me in answer
and still I ask
how is this plan worked out

I don’t mean any disrespect
and I’m sure you know my heart is good
believes in love and brotherhood

and I appreciate all the little things you made
for me to touch
and I know one day beyond this time
sense will make of me some semblance
of what this time spent is meant to be

until then just one thing for peace on earth
goodwill to men
could we get some help with this

amen
---
with thanks to serenity

If you only know how I feel for you,  for
Michelle....  For the hurt in your lives.
For the growth that you have seen...

Helping with that last Amen...

That's the hardest part -- that there simply are no answers at all, let alone easy answers that make sense to a human mind in a world where so many things are logical and linear in the way they happen.

But know this, that there will be an answer, and one you can understand, either because it is finally placed in human terms, or because you have moved beyond those limitations.

Patience....that's a hallmark of angels, as you know.

(big hugggssssssss) I too wish I knew just how to help comfort your heart, as I can't imagine how the loss of a child can feel completely still growing up, dearest friend! (sad sigh) I send many angel hugs your way and know always Michelle loves you and will always be your little girl, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

I'll thank Serenity, too
for whatever she did
to bring this forward.

Bless you both.

With my job I have seen far to many children taken from us each one leaves a memory and mark on my heart.  I can't imagine how hard this has been for you.  Thank you for sharing, this is so heart touching.

Bless you and best wishes.

No sweets... its not greed ...
and you dont ever need a reason to repost your poetry. But I for one am always glad you do.

and I can't shake the thought of you ...
I wanna see you again."

with its crutch, its old age, and its

We have many things to thank Serenity for.... and serenity...this poem among them.

Your writing simply grasps reality and turns it in a new direction. Beautiful stuff.
