Channel courage to walk the path –
a path walked now by you.
A flurry of emotions and jumbled nerves
arriving quick as though on cue.
Icy tables a welcome numbness with
curtained professionals and instructions.
Alone, the numbing seizes control
while you try to imagine tugging and suction.
He is brought in as prep is finished –
a nervous heart now calm.
Holding hands and closing eyes –
Dreaming of being a baby’s mom.

Simply put, I'm a thirty something single mom of three young boys with a passion for reading and writing. Writing, and reading for that matter, has been a passion since elementary school when a friend and I had our short collection of poetry published through the school where it was on display in the library for an entire year. While I still enjoy poetry, my love has grown into short stories and full length novels. Tag along for the journey, it'll be documented here every step of the way. View more posts
