matilda-'s Diaryland Diary

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A poem by Paula Brown for Matilda and her toes

My child,

I can not pull you back from every open window.

There is no one alive,or ever was,

Who can do that-

beyond yourself.

There always will be windows opening

Upon the grief,the guilt,

the burden of oursleves

In our despair.

It is a long, still time to sleep forever,

lying down beyond the window

On the air.

It will not only be You,there.
