 Heart Memories to Keep
Susie E. Caron (c) 1997, 2016. I wrote this poem at the time I faced an empty nest. It was first published in The North Star Monthly, June 1997, (Danville, VT.) under my pen name, Cuwciy, (pronounced 'Soosie'). I'm sharing this here because many of you will soon experience your own empty nest. I hope you receive both healing and hope. From my heart to yours, HEART KEEPS Breezy day, busy day, Too many under my feet. Children play, people say Too much, they gather to eat. I wipe with cloth And peel them off Now they look nice and neat. Stir with spoon, done to soon Call them in from the street. Stop the beast, frenzied feast Warm and hot and sweet. Laughter here stirs the air Songs my heart does meet. Over somehow, quiet now Hear the rhythmic beat. Echoes then, ghosts of when Though missing, my heart does keep. Cuwciy (c) 1997 Susie E. Caron (c) 2016 Comments are closed.

Blog Reviews & Thank You!
Sheila Michelle July 13 at 7:17pm · Just wanted to say that I love your posts about the different ways to connect/relate/understand your child. It has given me a new approach towards understanding my daughter and allowing HER to tell me how she feels instead of me suggesting to her how she should feel. Thanks Susie! |
