An Accomplished ChildA Poem by DBURKEI have accomplished many things Like taking my first breath To surviving my first death Like holding my own spoon To speaking in front of a room Like having my first child To camping in the wild These things were milestones Compared to what I achieved Instead of taking a breath I learned how to breathe And instead of appreciating life I learned how to live it Where darkness always existed That dark space is now lit Some can not understand What this poem means to me Captive in grief of loss Through God, I am free Like moving past the tears And giving God my fears Like letting go of the hurt And seeking God for comfort Like knowing, I am human And accepting God is not man Like letting go of my little one And letting the situation be Because she deserves like I deserve For her spirit to be free With love I will always Be somewhat a mess That is not my spirit It is more like my flesh I have grown from a child Into a child... There I am accomplished! © 2010 DBURKE |
