Dear Johnathan

Dear Johnathan

When I was 21, I miscarried. Since I was 8 years old, having children meant the world to me, and to loose what I wanted so much really tore into me and I`ve been grieving all these years. Being big into the spiritual paths of those since gone, I know that my son Johnathan has been with me at times. I`ve heard small quick footsteps when nobody`s around, I`ve felt small hands holding mine, I`ve heard laughter when no one is there. So I know, as time goes on, my boy grows up in my eyes, still with me. So, not exactly a poem but a true memory. Written 1-30-11
