The Daughters’ Keeper

A mother sits at home in her favorite room

Rocking in a chair knitting a sweater

As she gently threads the needle through

The yarn

She glances out the window.

Suddenly!

She finds herself taking a sentimental journey Through the past

Reflecting, relating

In addition, capturing moments in time.

As she thinks back to the day

Her daughter, Brandy went missing

Without a trace

She looks towards the bed at the pillows

She has rearranged

Moreover, fluffed time after time.

She continues to stare as she tries

To understand

Nevertheless, reaching out too so many

Mysterious wonders.

A single teardrop rolls down her face

Then the rain begins too pour

She struggles to compose herself

While reaching for a box of Kleenex

From the drawer.

Now this Mother has to prepare herself

For the storm.

It takes a very strong will to accept the

Unfair hand that fate deals to you

Without losing your mind

Without questioning God.

On the other hand, without being angry

With God

Without looking up towards Heaven

And shouting

My God Why Have Thou Forsaken Me?

With fervent hope though exhausted

She has never lost her grasp of hope

Or faith.

Through echoes of the heart

Like an artist painting a canvas

She captures an image of her daughter in her mind

Slowly to the cross this mother climbs

Taking every step with love

Every step with grace.

Brandy is pretty as a picture

Footloose and fancy free

Her mother can see her clearly

Too the point that she reaches

Out to her with open arms

Yearning, however never touching her at all.

A Poets’ Letter

Dear Ms. Parent,

Some folks might say that you have

Run out of time

Other folks might say the cold case file

Is closed

Move on from the past

Your hope is just a dream.

However, I say to you my friend

Do not allow yourself to curl up

In the shadows of despair.

Folks can say or whisper what they may?

However, they cannot see

The bruises imbedded in your soul.

Nor can they feel the stitches in
