Let me rush in
To hold you when
You cry
When all the world
Feels like it is caving
Inward upon you
Come bring your head
Into my embrace
Cry, wipe your tears
And little runny nose
On my shirt
Know I’m here
Always waiting to hold
And hug you
And hold me, when
I cry and become
Confused and angry
Anger is a cover for
The fear and frustration
We feel
Masking our loneliness
And insecurity
Love and kindness
Are what our deeper
Spirits crave
We are at peace in
One another’s embrace
My son, even as I falter
I love you
Eternally
(This poem was written September 9, 2000 for Kailen)
