Ache

My birthmother is in hospital I am devastated and cant find the words to say this is my first attempt

Ache

 

 

there is an ache

that we all take

to place its trace

a life-long chase

its filled with grace

and un-said acts

and marks our pace

as time retracts

this ache of crave

that life exacts

and when you find

its warm embrace

I pray that mine

helps fill that space
