As Flame Turns To Ash

Written for my daughter Kimberly, who is now a single Mommy, but still has ties to break.

Within the flames of what Are my yesterdays I search for the answers To what is to be my life I am the same As I have always been And yet ... I am so different I never dreamed I could So completely love When I see Joseph's face before me I am told that the sparkle Returns to my eyes He is my world He is my sunshine So caught up am I In the What should I do's Answers drifting within my heart And yet ... They still cannot be plainly seen I no longer know if I love The hurt is getting to where I can no longer feel the pain In these moments of Quiet reflection I watch the flames As they turn to ash I hear whispers of a better Life for myself and for Joseph But still too ... Is the one to be left behind If you are to run across this one day my Kimberly, please know I understand the confusion you are going through right now. I love you, Mom View All My Poems Feedback Welcomed   AspiringAngel           As Flame Turns To Ash

Kimberly still has a long road but is making progress. She is very sweet, tries hard, and she is my heart.

My daughter is now just entering the 16+ years. I am holding my breath and praying for the best. I love the work here and even more the purpose and intent of it. Good Work.
