HOMECOMING
You returned
and left lip prints
on a glass ...
memories
of little girl kisses
reminders
that at twenty-one
you are not too old
for a hug.

ANGEL OF MINE
Angel with the broken wings,
where are you going?
You are lost
Far from heaven
Falling from the heights
Falling to the ground . . .

TOO CUTE FOR A LULLABY
Night falls -
Heavy - lidded eyes
Look up from warm crib,
And I melt.
I croon a love song
Softly above the bed.
You gaze some more
And I must
Pick you up!
You . . .

BROKEN MIRROR
The mirror remains,
but your image cannot
be found there.
Sometimes I see you
in a shadow,
on a wall,
but the light changes
and you are gone,
again.

AN ANGEL'S KISS
She is gone
for now
the baby that I held
so tight
has grown angel wings
and has gone.
I wish I could
see them
unfurled, flowing, glowing . . .

YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE
You are my sunshine.
I remember when you were little
and the world was yours
and you were eager to learn
and proud to accomplish
and ready for more ...
And I remember . . .

LOST DREAMS
As I go through the photos
I see my baby, so innocent.
Thousands of images
Come to mind without consent.
I had so many hopes,
So many future dreams
Pills and the . . .

BROKEN ANGEL
I see you there,
dirty
from choices you have made
that weighed you down,
buried you in earthly sorrows
instead of freeing you
to fly among Stars.
I cannot see your tears . . .

BROKEN MIRROR (2)
I wish I could see you again
in the mirror -
sneak a peak, passing by
watch you experiment
with makeup and clothes
trying oh-so hard to be
so grown up. . . .

YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE
Sometimes,
my sunshine is hidden
behind clouds.
My tears often
rain down -
unbidden,
unwanted ...
coming without permission.
But sometimes
they gift me . . .
