Moment In Time

Lost Child

Even as I feel the pain

only having a moment

to touch a passing comet.

Letters, calls, text.

Ten short weeks

hope and adventure.

Now all I have are

limited memories.

Hopes and dreams

of better times.

But will never

forget those brief

short moments,

Beautiful life, a beautiful child.

The poem is beautiful and very sad. Lost of child can never leave us. Thank you for sharing the poetry. I agree with the closing lines.

Thank you for your reading my work. She is still of this world my child, just not a world where I can reach out to her. I hope for the day when she finds her way back to be part of my life, I do try to reach out, but the time to find common ground is delayed and I will always be waiting until I cannot.

I as of yet do not understand exactly the estrangement between you and your daughter but, I would like to understand the dynamics.
