in depth look at poem: This is a poem that I wrote for my sister, Becki, when I heard that she was having complications with her pregnancy. I was really worried and wish I could have been there to help her.


my love

I wish my love
could cross the boundries,
could be by your side.
I wish my love
could be with you

I wish I could
see you again,
I wish I could
show you that I care

I wish my love
was so clear to you,
was the only thing that you hold dear.
I wish my love
was manifest to you

I hope my love
is clearly there for you.
I hope my love
is your joy
