C. Nathalie Ellen
(an acrostic poem, written to myself)

Capricorn baby, you came into this world

Not knowing the horrors you would face
At times
Throughout your life, yet you
Had the strength and courage to overcome
All. My heart cries for you, the child that
Lies within me.
I have finally learned to love you.
Even though we have a long way to go, I will

Ever be by your side.
Little one, I have finally learned to love you;
Leave behind the hatred and the sorrow, and dwell in
Eternal happiness
Now
