She appeared nervous and reserved.
I was nervous and hopeful.
She walked away. They closed the door.
Putting your child’s well-being in someone else's hands.
Both unnerving and humbling.
I feel her leaving.
Or maybe coming back to us.
I have helped others
Encouraged and supported.
Why not my own child?
I pondered and wrote, while waiting and wondering:
Would your expression give me a clue?
Did you let her enter into your world,
the world slowly swallowing you?
Can she help you?
Will you be okay?
I was hopeful.
Thank you.
Us Too
