STEPHANIE THIBODEAU Poems

I see people laughing and joking all around,
but on my face there is no smile; instead there is a frown.
I never laugh anymore; instead I cry,
and I never stop to ask myself, 'Why? '

To My Beautiful Boys — Nathan, Anthony, and Nicholas

My sweethearts…
I don't think there are words big enough to carry how much I miss you.

To My Beautiful Boys — Nathan, Anthony, and Nicholas

No matter how many days pass,
no matter how many miles stretch between us,
...

There is no word for this ache in my chest,
no name for the storm that moves quietly
beneath my smile.
...

She Is Still Here
She's walked through storms
no one saw coming —
and still, she stands.
