Stone Heart

by T.A. Walk

Child’s heart,
Fragile, malleable,
Parents lost in personal selfish patterns,
Crafting untold trauma through unrealized abandonment,
Forever changing,
That heart,
Into stone.

I fear that I cannot undo years of trauma my personal illness inflicted upon my children.

I take responsibility, and teach them that while we may sometimes fall, we can also rise.

I am grateful that I was able to save them from becoming hardened by struggle. Thank you for reading.
