A connection to my soul
Memory of life past
Deep inside I reach
To find your song

I’ve known you …
Before  We lived our other lives
Between  As our paths crossed through the years
Now it’s our time… if only for a moment

For John
I write poems
To give my thoughts a home
Because when my mind roams
I lose track of what I have
Otherwise my head would explode

My body aches for your touch
I shake with yearning for you
You do things to me… that set me free.
I’m vulnerable with no shame
My desire is you

love

You were born too soon
I was a fixture in the Pediatric ICU
Being alone with no one to share my fears was unbearable
So, I prayed day and night for my baby daughter
But it wasn’t meant to be
When your precious breath no longer could be felt
I cradled you to my *****
Your eyes closed forever
I held you until the end
I swelled with fear
Would I ever find peace?
Yes…
Her life will mean something
Her eyes will see again
Her heart will beat again
Some child will be made whole
To save another mother the pain of losing a child
If only you knew.…you were so loved
Softly the words came to my heart

~I knew Mommy I knew~

When you want to know the why
And nobody knows the how
You are chained with pain
Suffering without an answer
Patricia LeDuc Jan 2022
It feels like one part of my brain is fighting the other
To win control and claim my sanity
It shouldn’t be that way
