In The Silence

There’s a stuffed bear on a shelf
where the dust on the soft fir
never stirs

Barbie dolls on the floor
with clothes and shoes to match
remain by the dollhouse

Her rumpled pink bedspread
hide her tiny satin shoes
tears stain
her soft pillow

In the silence
angel wings unfold
holding mama close

So sad.

In the silence
angel wings unfold
holding mama close

Time will comfort.

Thanks,

Oh, sad indeed. My daughter lost her only child when she was eleven. She still has everything exactly the same in her room, even though she has moved. I wish she could feel the angel wings enfolding. Joyce

I have never lost a child, but have a friend who has and I was thinking of her when I wrote this.

Deb: This is so touching! We lost our only grandson, just before his 10th birthday and life has never been the same. He lived with us much of his short life. Your poem is so beautiful and tender.

This was very moving. I do not know what to say other than that. It affected me deeply, which is a mark of great poetry. Amazing.

Deb...I am an angel lover and was intrigued and drawn in by your title. The imagery in this piece is astounding. Great write!

It was a beautiful poem and the words made me cry. Is it okay if I send it to a friend who lost her son?

Hugs, Marti
