I wanted to express to you today on my birthday
25 years later, I am finding the lost words
that for years have been locked and stored away.
I am finally beginning to understand
how you must have felt first hand.
The first moment I held my son
tightly against my chest.
I caught a glimpse of you
and unleashed emotions that have been repressed.
The bond between a mother and her unborn
will remain forever
and can never be torn.
Like the fine white grains of sand,
wherever they may drift,
they always will remain part of the land.
Today I wonder if you still think of me
examining the reasons that you did flee.
I want to let you know
in my heart those reasons will never matter.
I will continue to think of you
and wonder if your heart is still in shatters.
