The Night Before Court
here I sit
still and quiet
yet so busy inside
emotions flooding
drowning, choking, heart pounding
hands sweating, pulse racing
head swirling, never resting
1000 thoughts, 10,000 reasons why
Im so tired, I need to rest
never stopping, just one more thing
I need tomorrow to be mine
I have to have it, I can accept nothing less
I sit so silent, yet my love screams out
I look upward and ask please
set me free....from this pain....I plead
make me whole again
I pray tomorrow a new begining
time for healing to start, please I ask
I ask not only for me, but for them
I ask only for whats rightfully ours....the boys and me
I ask for no more that what is right
I offered kindness and support to find myself here?
I wish no ill to anyone, no matter what tomorrow may bring
I'm merely a grandmother wanting to SHARE in my grandbabes lives
'those you have helped the most...capable of hurting you...' yes, very true. poem of hope... this is a prayer. heartfelt, and real. eric
Jo-anne, it sounds like we have a lot in common. I read your poem The Night Before Court. Oh, how I know those feelings. Come by and read my poem titled Nights. I think you will like it. Heartaches for the Kids is the one that started it all off for me. I will be by and read more of your poems. This one is very moving. So many emotions for us to deal with as grandparents. Keep up the poetry. It is good for the soul. See ya later! Linda
