Today

       Today

 I missed you

       but a while-

       your laughter, your cry

       the dimpled smile.

       Today

 I allowed

       myself the tears

       for the pain I've hidden

       these past six years.

       Today

 I read the letters

       that gave you to another.

       Today

 I feel the anguish

       of not being your mother.

       Today

 I allow

       myself to feel sorrow

       for what I have given

       in all my tomorrow's.

       The bond with siblings

       you will rarely see

       the future I long for

       that will never be.

       Today

 I remember

       the time of your birth

       and ponder to myself

       what price my pain's worth.

       Today

 I can touch you

       I feel you neath' my heart.

       Today

 my soul

       is shredding apart.

       Today

 I wonder if Ryan,

       will forgive me as a man

       and realize how I have loved him

       could he ever understand?

       Today

 I must sit.

       Today

 I must grieve,

       for each moment I won't share

       and each memory I'll never see.

      

 I love you  Ryan, my son, today and always..

 

I wrote this on Ryan's 6th birthday, he is 9 now. My sister had ovarian cancer and I was a traditional surrogate for her. Ryan is healthy and happy and my sister is a wonderful Mother.
