I was a United Way Champion here at work. The meeting hit very close to home, as child 2 and 3 both have special needs.


Special Children Times Two


Today, I visited memories
I would rather leave behind
At a meeting of my peers
Whose purpose was to faux cheer
Us into a fund raising frenzy

At that moment,
My heart's soul ache
Opened again
Embellished with tears

As I thought of Special children
Times two
One who has triumphed
Over All challenges
And one who has not

Soul seared drops beaded on my cheek
With joy And Sorrow all at once
Overwhelmed I could not think
Beyond the moment

As I prayed to put the pain back
Under the veil of secrecy
So I did not have to think of it again

There is nothing more difficult to deal with than seeing your children suffer. I could easily feel your pain in this open heart piece.
