I really found myself moved by the small, short phrases in this poem. To me they read as if they were spoken between sobs. That was very emotional and moving. Then at the end, as the poem is offering support, the phrases get longer, almost indicating that the sobs are over. It's as if once the words get stronger, the narrartor gets stronger as well. Small phrases flow into full sentances and there's a sense of resolution at the end....
... at least that's how it read to me :)
Very enjoyable and emotional. Thank you for sharing this!
Wow... extremely emotional experience reading this. And it all goes by in the blink of an eye, doesn't it? I just re-read it about five times while sitting here, trying to pick out my favorite line, or the line that would have the most emotional reaction from me, but I couldn't. They all play so powerfully. Thank you so much for sharing.
Good question! I hated to do it, but sometimes you have no other choice. Thankfully now all my children are older teens/early twenties, also I work from home telecommuting, so it's no longer a problem. But I do remember three occassions when they were younger.... when it was not a "Take your child to work day" ... when I worked in the office instead of at home, when I had to bring them.
It's hard, because it's boring for them, distracting for you, and annoying for your co-workers. But what can you do?
