A single moment at a time

A single moment at a time …. By Destiny

Written for Reena’s Xploration Challenge #261

to my daughter

Loses herself in
worlds of words, buried between
pages of fantasy

Writing helps her heal
reading soothes her weary mind,
her attempts to deal

Burdens of loss harsh
Solitude her escape, aged
far beyond her age

Neglects her woes, to
fill the silence, adopts the
need to be our strength

Bear not these burdens
my shining star, just know I’m
here and love you so

When lost, I’ll guide you,
when still, I hear you, when hurt,
I see you, always…

It will take a while,
but we’ll get there, a single
moment at a time…

The best we lost, worst
is now but time will come, and
this bubble will burst
