Tear your heart
with broken strings
pull it kindly apart
as the Angel sings
knit it together
as winter is dying
her grandmother
never stops trying.
Would you trade them in
to begin again,
empty the memory store
get rid of all the pain
and the joy?

sepia seeping out of you
and the brightness of a future
flowing in,

would you
trade them in?
Words are threads of many colors.
That can be woven into something
Beautiful and strong.
I said that to Melan of Innocence once
And it’s true.
She is a weaver of gossamer truth.
Warp dipped in LOVE and then woven
Through heartwarming weft
To form fabric both beautiful and
Astoundingly strong.

A humble note of admiration.
Not allowed to be part of her life
Only a casual bystander
Feeding on the crumbs of her
Tossed to me by others

The ongoing sadness of having a daughter who wants nothing to do with me while still averring that she loves me.
