Deep in my heart
There is a hole
Years have come
And years have gone
Yet it remains
Eating away
The very sanity
I struggle to hold
This hole
Needs filling
For it lacks
The love of
A sweet lil child
To call my own
To tend his wounds
And hold his hand
To make him
Smile
Laugh
And sing
To comfort
And to hold
Love and console
One to guide
Through life's
Twists and turns
A child of my own
To complete
My very
Heart and soul....
Author notes
I write this not to win a contest but simply because I too know what is to be like to grow up without the love of a parent. In my case, it was my father. He chose to have nothing to do with me. Years have come and years have gone and I still know not why he made the choice he did. I can truly understand the hole in your heart that needs to be filled. For I have many holes in my heart that need filling as well.
I simply hope, wish and pray you to find the mum you so desperately need so your heart and soul may finally be complete.

Awe, Ms. Moon, this really hurts, in a good way... for even as I was in ways neglected so do I find myself doing the same to others in my life... but in my case it is not out of any ill feelings... and can't be explained... maybe happiness is a pain to some all in itself...
PS, I hope you are recovering well from hurricane Katrina! I can't help you pick up the pieces around your yard, but only those dropped from your heart.

Beautiful
Wow, I really like this. I see I am not alone in growing up without a loving parent.
Good job! I like poems like this, that are flowing and easy to read. -
Tender, beautiful , call for love *angel*
This is absolutely heartbreaking and so very touching; so very eloquently written,yet sweet and tenderly stated. This is not at all what I was expecting. I am now finding myself in tears as I discovered that it hit too uncomfortably close to home.
My Daughters both had deadbeat Dad's who were not involved in their lives. Then my youngest Daughter gave birth to her son. Although this little boy and his sister were shared the same Father, he did not accept his son because he had gotten another woman pregnant when my Daughter was carrying my Grandson and he chose the other woman over my Daughter after a 9 year relationship. He will not even look at my Grandson or admit that my Grandson is his (although we have the Paternity tests to prove it). Now BOTH of my Daughters are strung out on Meth and have abandoned their children. Now all five of my Grandchildren are Motherless! I am almost glad that my beautiful Mom passed away two years ago so that she did not have to witness this tragedy. She certainly would have died of a broken heart by now if she had not died from the effects of her stroke.
This is such a beautiful, heart rendering call for a parental guide. I am a 50-year-old woman with lots of love to share. I open my heart to kids on this site every day who are crying out for help, have low self-esteem or substance abuse problems. I believe in getting involved; that our whole purpose of existence is to be here for each other.
If there truly is such a young person in need of having a heart-hole filled, I have a heart that needs to fill one. I've lost my two babies to Meth and I will never get them back. I am focusing upon my Grandbabies now. I have adopted one AP child on here already and would love to have another to replace what I have lost
Blessings and

I have grandchildren who have no father, and I wonder if they when they grow older will feel like this. I enjoyed reading this, it flows quickly and is easy to read.

AWWWW.... thanks so much for entering in my dad-to-be's contest. I love your homepage and the tribute there as well...okay now back to the matter at hand
Truly a lovely sentiment as you show quite an amazing amount of emotion. (only one typo and that is 'hole') This is truly a lovely piece and I wish for you the same kind of completeness
