It Was I Poem by Lyn Paul

It Was I

Rating: 5.0


I lost a piece of me
That I will never
Find again

That one piece
The one
That pulls each string

That one
That was kept so warm
In Thy womb

That one
That gave
Sleepless nights
First words
Teardrops
Precious gifts
And
Song

I lost a piece of me
Though this
Is Multiplied

I gave every piece of me
Every word
Every ache
Sang every lullaby
Every penny

Let those pieces
Reunite
I will try to forget
What was stolen from me

Cold we must not be
For I lost a piece of me

It was I

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I will sing my cares away.
This is the trials of sharing children.
For those often broken by separation.

This has then made me think of all of those young woman who had no choice when their babies were taken from them at birth.
Let this poem be to those woman who really lost it all!

A loss beyond comprehension for most of us, but your words come very painfully close.
