Whole Again

The pain in her heart

is that of a motherless child,

come sit with me,

little one,

I can't fix this

but I can be with you

until your heart grows strong again.

The blues singer weeps

out her tune about a motherless child--

the worst separation perhaps,

but mothering can come in many forms

& be created anew

to make the heart whole again.

Come sit with me,

little one,

you are not alone,

we will shelter you

until your heart is full again.

Another beautiful poem, Hélène.
