A Poem For My Son
My Love is a faint, fair thing
Cast out like the stars
Scattering across the sky
It twinkles when I remember
How I held you in my arms
A little breathing life
Curly-haired,
Writhing,
Too large to be rocked to sleep.
Yet we did it
And you fought.
And now
A decade past,
I look back at those scattered stars
And wonder where it went
My baby
I will always love you
No matter how time
Tears us apart.
