it is saddened...

I wrote this poem during the very early hours of the new year. At the time I was still dealing with issues concerning my brother's illness. I have since had a talk with my sister-in-law and it was something she said that was told to her by my mom that prompted me to make the change from my original plan.


This poem has helped me to heal my own emotions.


My focus now will be in support of my brother, his family, my other siblings and my mom.

it is saddened...

illness brings pain not only to one,

but one of many. pain felt deep

to the core of the mind and soul

it breaks  a silence and creates

one as well. thoughts run forever,

emotions are rampant.

it brings to mind all siblings

and wonder, how are they,

how is mom?

emotions are rampant, i need

to be there. my heart, my heart

...it is saddened
