Playing 

The little boy 
in you
 loves 
the child
in me.
  But,
I wonder 
if 
he 
can 
cope
 with 
the woman 
I am?

Sylvia Edwards

Christmas Hauntings

One holiday alone
distressing, depressing.

Letters from home,
Packages of treats,
Cards from friends,
Gifts of sweets

Remind one
that even if
I’m here and
you’re there;

Others care.

Sylvia Edwards
