    Poem Commentary

    Just an expression of the loss and disappointment of infertility.

    Southside Cinderella

     Its about a life
    full of strife
    and heartache
    until Jake.

    I was young and wild
    wanting a child
    untamed and strong
    but, the dream was wrong.

    The life is changed now,
    too late for hope now,
    those dreams can't come true now,
    too late for me and you now.

    Now my heart is heavy as a clod,
    How will love and god,
    when grief and disappointment prevail
    put winds back into this sail!

    I fear I will hear baby laughter then,
    maybe i will pretend
    that the jealousy is gone.
    I will go on,
    angry, but will you see
    there is no more baby laughter for me?
    Just infertility!

    wow, this one hurt me just to read it, you have a gift for expressing emotions, I hope you will be writing of joyful love very soon, if not then do what I did, I prayed constantly and persistently, my prayer wasn't answered right away, but it was worth the wait

    You carry a unique burden of pain. I know a couple who cope by being foster parents specializing in infants. Takes their mind off themselves, anyway. Harv

    Sorry if it was a bit too real. I always write from the reality of my life. Sometimes it is too "in your face" for some. Thanks for your insightful comments. Write on.

    Life is a merry-go-round of memories played to the symphony of lost dreams. Death brings back visions that never reached the dream world and what could have been becomes a reality. It's all written in the words of a song. Let's call the song Southside Cinderella .. Thanks for sharing another wonderful verse. LOL,BDC.

    You make me mist eyed with you words of encouragement. how'd you get so wise....write on...

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
