Julie

August 12, 2018

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is miscarriage, stillbirth, and death in early childhood.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A name poem for a child who lived almost to adolescence:

Julie died sometime in her mid-morning,
Unable to take in her afternoon.
Life's an equal gift from dawn to evening,
Infinite in happiness and grieving,
Even when the night falls far too soon.
