For One Who Mourns Poem by Esther Leclerc
For One Who Mourns
Lil' firecracker, July child-to-be
Another sunny redhead, she hoped in vain
No, for you there were other dreams
'Too good for this world' was said of you
And it is true: those who find not the way to
earthly night or day are destined for the Light
(And she mourns:
'I believed in you...
I believe in you still...
Do you believe in me?
One day, my own, you will...')
Mourning is colorless; loss transcends
the blackest void. Born to this world or no, life
within changes Woman... forgetting is impossible
There's a broken heart of faith longing for the day
when at last she'll see your face: finally, you will taste
of Mother love and she, the sweetness of your soul!
('I believed in you...
I believe in you still...
Do you believe in me?
One day, my own, you will...')
(7.9.06 - To all who have lost a baby, born to this world or no)

Esther, I tried to pass on this, several times! My tears just wouldn't let me do that! I just had to say that! No more need be said!

Esther - a surprising subject for a poem, but one which was so beautifully written, sad, hopeful and accepting all at once, connecting to our hearts, as the best poets do, without any apparent effort at all. - chuck
