Reading the opening and listening to your voice read the poem brought tears to my eyes. This is beautiful Shondra!!!

Thank you. It’s the one piece I wish didn’t need to come forth.

Heartbreaking and beautiful.

As a mother of a teenage son, this hits right at my heart, the urge to say always, "it'll be alright." Thank you.

[Shondra Bowie Riley]

Thanks for reading and commenting Ambata. We want to say it even when we don’t believe it.
