have you ever been
afraid
to voice what your tears
really mean?
who would like
my burdens?
I’m willing to share
realizing the value
of time
knowing the absence
of presence
the F in
different
the A in
absent
the I in
intent
the T in
trust
the H in
hope
as life changes
so do definitions
of marriage
of family
of yoke
some words’ve
expounded
oppression
parenting
writing
as I write
I work
through
the issues
in my mind
what started
in chaos
ends
in perfect
peace

That’s a beautiful poem, Laura Lee!

I smiled and had tears in my eyes, at the same time. Happy you loved them and that it brought your family together around a shared event together!
