Conception
by Susan E.
I say I love you
You brush my hair back softly
Ignoring the rain.

Birth
by Susan E.
My baby screams out
Under the hot white moonlight
Separation's song.

From the Heart �Oil pastel on Paper

Spring Birth
by Pam W.
Forlorn cries echoed
All the while the cherry trees
Dropped their blossoms fair.

Loss
by Robin W.
The cries of the babe
Echo down the long hallway
A young mother weeps.

Sacred
by Yvonne L.C.
Souls perpetual
Mother child intertwining
Sacred, eternal.

Connections

by Pam W.
One far-flung silk strand
Wound its way through heart and soul
Binding us through time.

Surrender
by Cathy B.
Their lies I believed
Like a lamb to the slaughter
Unquestionably.

Mother's Day
by NY Liz
Creation of life
A celebration of love
And the willow weeps.

REUNION

� Liz Porter 2007

through the mist

my son shines brightly

a new dawn

Surrender

by Susan A.

Despair and rage shrieked
From the center of my soul
No one heard. I died.

Reality Bites
by Susan A.
Do you still get waves
Of recognition, and not
Know what hit you, kid?

Theft
by Deb D.
Money cannot love
Severing the purest bond
The theft of my son.

Rationale
by Deb D.
Guilt, shame, fallen girl
Rationale for heinous acts
Wounds last forever.

I Am
by Donna D.
If you only knew
How very much I love you
I am your mother.

Nightmares
by Pam W.
Endless nights searching
Rooms filled with wailing infants
Never finding mine.

Birthdays
by Ronnie Mc
Daffodils so bright
A silent birthday passes
A mother's heart breaks.

Birthday
by Robin W.

No candles today
I sit alone in silence
Remembering you.

Why
by Cathy D.
The child of my youth
Separated upon birth
I still wonder why.

Hope
by Robin W.
If you can just hear
The rhythm of my heartbeat
You'll know who I am.

Love's Design
by Cathy D
I know you as well
As the very soul of me
Designed in my heart.

Search
by NY Liz
Relative strangers
Alone under the same moon
Hope springs eternal.

Joy
by Deb D.
Hearts beating as one

The eternal symphony
Love has returned home.

                                                                Hearts
                                                                                by Linda V.
                                                        Hearts pound together
                                                        No longer separated
                                                        Yes, dreams do come true.

My Son Always
by Mary Ellen
We are connected
By gossamer string, we two
Together again.

My Son
by Judy R.
My son and my friend
Getting to know him again
Stranger, loved for life.

Together
by Cathy B.
Lives interwoven
Reunited in the stream
Together forever.

Mother Love
by Ronnie
My baby, grown now
Our connection just as strong
Love defies lost years
