To the woman holding back her tears behind closed doors
To the ones squalling with fury and those who have yet to hold another stick that says: "It is a no."
A deep breath and a tight hug
To the ones waiting and those who, with all their hearts, are convinced it is time for a different plan, a pivot, or a full-stop
To the big-dark-eyed ones trying to look away as she spotted another woman's glow
Here’s a smile that signs “I do that too.”
To those who've collected children's books for years hoping that someday, on a perfect day, she gets to read them together with someone she's been waiting for
someone small, all smiles, and smells so sweet, someone uniquely part of her and her loved one
A limerick and a song or two
To all of you out there
I am here, shelving another hardcover classic and saying that I am thinking about you.
