The day I found out, That I was pregnant, I was absolutely terrified, What if I was not a good mother? This thought went through my head a lot, Self-doubt, I lived through nine months of doubts, Then she was born, The moment I saw her, I was in love, I vowed to her to … Continue reading Motherhood – Poem by Lola Hornof

How Do You Know Love – Poem by Lola Hornof
Love is the way he looks at you, With admiration, And respect, It is your heart fluttering, Skipping a beat at his touch, You have electricity flowing when you kiss, Love is when you are sick, He takes care of you, Then you do the same for him, He gently tucks you into bed at … Continue reading How Do You Know Love – Poem by Lola Hornof
Fire Flies – Poem by Lola Hornof
Pitch black night, Sitting in a field, Surrounded, All around, Fireflies dance and glow, Making their brilliant luminescence, Fun to guess where they will appear, Little flashlights, Simple pleasures, Watching nature, Deep at night, Seeing nature’s creatures light up the night, Another natural wonder, Catching one, Gently, Glowing in my hand, Tickling my palm, Let … Continue reading Fire Flies – Poem by Lola Hornof

Emotions Gone Wild – Poem by Lola Hornof
Happiest in my dreams, Where we are together, Nothing holding us back. I see you, My heart races and I feel light-headed, All my emotions rush through me all at once, Strongest feeling being love, Bravery does not exist for me, The thought of talking to you panics and terrifies me, Insecurity takes over, I … Continue reading Emotions Gone Wild – Poem by Lola Hornof
Broken Trust – Poem by Lola Hornof
There was a very loud crash, That nobody else heard, Broken inside, Nothing could change that, Why do I have to suffer?

Amid the Fall – Poem by Beth Wood
The rain patterns on the roof of the desolate hall As I peer out the window dead of night naked trees tis the mist the fall The moon lights the sky like a candle in the night and the rain, oh the rain seems to play a tune hitting each note just right the wind … Continue reading Amid the Fall – Poem by Beth Wood
There – Poem by Lola Hornof
You were there when we took our first steps, And went unsteadily across the floor, You pushed and prodded: encouraged and guided, Until our steps took us out the door, You worry now, “Are they ok?” Is there more you could have done? As we walk the paths of our unknown, You wonder, “Where have … Continue reading There – Poem by Lola Hornof
