I love my son more than life itself,

can’t imagine not having him be part

of who I am as the days go by.

Understanding one another is a

challenge in all of our lives, especially

those we hold dear to our hearts.

I wish I could look my son in the eye

so he might just see how much I need

him in my life with every breath I take.

I don’t really want to defend myself

as much as I want him to know I love him.

I’m lost in a bit of a soul searcher’s endeavor,

wishing to find some ground to lay my body to rest.

Tonight I’m lost and trying hard to understand,

trying with all of my hope to know love is real.
