All That is Left

    All that is left is a white cane chair
    and a bear
    that belongs to you

    My Jessica full of broken pieces
    pieces that can't be replaced
    fixed or found.

    Did they think when they ripped
    you from my arms
    did they think I had no feelings
    That I was a Non Person,

    No they didn't think
    they didn't care
    now all that is left
    Is a white cane chair
    and on it sits a bear
    That belongs to you
    My Jessica

    But I will wait until the day I die
    for your return
    And I will hold out my broken arms
    the arms from which you were torn
    And I will ache forever
    from the womb which
    you were born.

    Ayesha. A (A Birthmother)
