Our Secret PlaceA Poem by KittyMy baby, Samantha. If only things hadn't happened the way that they did...As you play outside. I watch as in your play-house You run and hide. You’ve got all your teddies And just like a mother, You tell then what to do. You love to play ‘House’ Even though it makes your Mommy cry, Knowing that your Daddy Left without saying ‘goodbye’. Suddenly you run inside Your knees bloody and sore. I sit you down and clean you up So it won’t hurt anymore. Holding you tight, I kiss you on your head. You look up at me with those sad green eyes, “Mommy, am I really dead?” I can’t deny it anymore. I can no longer lie. “I’m sorry, my baby, but at the time I thought it right to let you die”. “I did it because I loved your Dad And I thought that he loved me. I thought that him and I Would be together for eternity”. “When I fell pregnant And he found out, He told me to ‘get rid of it’. He didn’t want you – there’s no doubt”. “Sam, I didn’t want you To grow up without a dad. I hope you will forgive me But I thought it was the only choice I had”. These tears begin now To sting my eyes. You look up at me, “Mommy, please don’t cry”. “I may be young, But I do understand”. You smile gently And hold my hand. “Here in our secret place We can still be happy. Don’t worry, Mommy, I like it just you and me”. Copyright©JosieWentzel24February2008

But if there is one thing I can wish for the world, it's peace, love, more tolerence, faith, hope and trust. I hope you find it somewhere out there.... more..Writing
