confused (a tainted time)

I spoiled inside
your sweetness that I would savor
o’er the times...... searching for a love that’s
now so hard to find looking in your pictured eyes
to only reminisce... I died again... captured by a
weakness letting you in my time playing with

my soul embracing that little grin
of shiny skin... it was all so
simple then... I
flattered
to your
illumination
with my vulnerable

persuasion, and you consumed
my eagerness... making me love you
so wonder fully... it’s through I was prone
to my insecurities... in foolishness I didn't
see back then just how times shortness
hides a lie... in you... I died, tainted

in a by gone dream of then
to say goodbye once
more again and
softly crying
by you
and
dying

all trapped
within... my soul

.

Written about and
for Rosemary J. Gwaltney By:
her husband...., Dale Wayne. I can’t

know everything Rosemary felt for Joshua
Timothy who died from reflux, yet it’s the very
same thing that I just got out of surgery for. If
they only knew then what they know now.
Yet if not, I’d be gone just the same...
Why is it I live & a child dies?



Writing isn't just something I do, it's something I am.
To write of feelings that touch all hearts in some manner is my delight.
-Marge Tindal

lucky, you have written from the heart and asked a question with no answer. Hold and love this dear mother and maybe you can deaden the pain for each other. Wonderful words. Hugs to you both, ME

I just wanted to say I wrote this from the eyes of Rosemary and not my own... So many times it's easy to see from another's eyes... I thank you ME... bless bless

Dale--I am at a loss for words, right now I'll just say how much you tenderly understand. Hugs to you both!

What can I possibly, say, sweetheart, other than thank you for keeping Joshua's sweet memories with me. And for your love.

You write so vividly of the subtle ways we die inside, when our little one leaves before us.

We can't help but question, knowing we'll never know the answers... Still, I'm glad that medicine DID advance... for a dear lady was saved even more suffering... and PIP can welcome back one of its own. *S*
