I remembered the first time
You held my hand.
Exhausted, hurting from giving birth
I lay with you on my chest and you curled
Your hand against my heart.
I gently put my finger in your clasp
And you held me forever.

When you waved with your hand curled
I remembered the first time You held my hand. Exhausted, hurting from giving birth I lay with you on my chest and you curled Your hand against my heart. I gently put my finger in your clasp And you held me forever.

That first hand hold drives away all the pain.

You should have saved this one for Mother's Day, Jennifer. Kudos and tears. Comments are closed.

PoetryThis is the section where fiction prose becomes something else. We still expect the poems to be short, though – sonnets, perhaps, or around that length at the very most. Please feel free to comment (nicely!) on any poems – writers appreciate it.
Just at the moment, though, we're moderating some of them so there might be a slight delat before they appear. Archives
