28

Two souls

Patiently waited

Denied entry 

Rows of little pills

Years of the 28

Fear

And everyone's opinion

But her own 

So loud!

She allowed them to crowd out 

The call of her heart 

And so their journey together

Was not meant to be

Eventually she threw away 

The little paper in her wallet 

Containing their names 

Pretending she wasn't sad

That she didn't KNOW

Tucked the memory away

Deep down 

Today they came to visit

She who would have been mother 

Not with anger, or regret 

No

Today, the day that will be their birthday 

They came with a message of love 

Endless beautiful love

And Grace

There are so many paths

We have been at your side 

Watching, loving, and helping

You are ready now

Strong and powerful

Stepping into the light

You go rock this life, Mom

And we're going to do the same 

Know that we love you always 

And I you, my little ones

We will meet another way, mom 

Have no doubt 

We must go now 

Today is our birthday

And our family is waiting 

OK my angels

Thank you for this gift

You are in my heart always 

Every day is a new chance

Regardless of our yesterdays

Today is a new day 

A day to give birth 

And create ourselves 

And this world 

Anew
