Missing Out

Published on 10 July 2022 at 09:57

You never get to experience any of it

Missing out on big and small important events

Her first day of school, the big move

No call to collect the details

Not around to cheer her up when she feels she has failed

It’s all me

These memories become my secrets I keep

I’d love to share them but it seems your interest is never peaked

What she will remember most is who was there the whole time

Your feelings may become hurt when it’s not your name that is mentioned.

So many moves have been made without you that it’s become an ordinary thing

Sadly I disagree but your thought process hasn’t changed

Your okay with doing the bare minimum

When parenting requires all it takes

So shut off from reality

But 2k takes your family’s place

It once sickened me until I learned that Yah is moving differently

Maybe your absence is actually necessary

So that another one’s place is guaranteed

Yes it is sad but The Lord has given me much peace regarding this

You may choose to miss out on her big and small moments

But I never will

She is my reality and her joy is my priority

We will continue to make big and small moves and you won’t be apart of it

I do not say this out of bitterness

It no longer causes pain

Because through your absence

It is humility and peace that I have gained.

 

Unapologetically poetic….
