Same No More
I'm not the same.
That sweet little girl
twirling in my new
frilly dress.
Dancing in the rain
muddy puddles, a ducky mess.
Playing patty-cake with my newborns tiny hands.
Guiding little sleepyheads off to neverlands.
Watching them from the crowd
as they grew and played
when allowed.
I miss them now
so much,
I wish they could have stayed.
Hard lessons learned.
Heart scars earned.
What once was whole,
now has a hole.
Broken and in pieces
with an ache, a pain
that never ceases.
No, I'm afraid I'll never
be the same.
