Meaning
for Daddy

Broken hearted
Betrayed
Love died with time
Slow healing
Scars never leave

When the world hurts you
Heal it
Lame lead the blind
They’ve taken your innocence
Give them everything you have left

I was wounded
They lived off the life still in me
I died, for them
I kept the weak alive
Suddenly life has meaning

Baby’s the Best
for my wittle siblings

He told mommy he went in his pants
I forgot to lift the toilet lid
He ate a carrot. Yay
I coughed up my milk
He said daddy and they all cheered
I said a new word and got sent to my room
He burped and all adored him
Why aren’t mine admired?
The baby is always the best

Questions
for Grandma J.

Hello
How’s your day been?
Was everything supposed to be?
Did your dreams begin to form?
Do you miss me?

When you walk down the halls
How often do you say my name?
Is everything different?
Or just the same?

Do you miss me at night?
All alone in your room
Do you ever wonder why
I must leave so soon?

And when sunrise comes over the trees
And you’re met with a new day
Do you ever wonder if
Things will always be this way?

Hello

Was everything supposed to be?
Did every dream begin to form?
