Dear Family and Friends,
I am pleased to announce that my poem, “Reconnected” is published on Gobblers by Masticadores! A huge Thank you to Manuela Timofte for believing in me enough to share my work each month. I am truly grateful! 🙏🩷
A snippet of the poem…
He had just entered the world
his body tiny and delicate
a bundle needing to be loved
His skin darker than theirs
but this made no difference
Joy danced in their hearts
when he became family
but with each passing birthday
the skin color confused him…
This poem is my sister and brother-in-law’s story. They were married 52 years ago, and when they wanted to start their family, they found out that they couldn’t have children. So, they adopted their two boys. This is the story of their first son, my nephew. It is a story of unconditional love and wanting to provide a loving, safe home for a precious baby who needed one. I would be thrilled if you visited Gobblers to show your love on their site and to read the full poem. You can find the poem here.

Thanks so much on both counts, and I just followed you! 💞
My pleasure.
Cool. Thank you!! 🌹
Congratulations on the feature, Lauren. This is a heart-felt poem, one that speaks of vulnerability and the courage to open up to love. I like how you mentioned to the world ‘circle’ in the middle, and ended with reconnected. It made me think of things and people coming round and having realisations. Or coming round full circle in other words. Love is such a strong emotion and it comes with unconditional support.
Thanks for your lovely words, Mabel. I appreciate you mentioning what stood out for you in this special poem. My sister and brother-in-law went through some tough times, but their adopted son came ‘full circle’ as you said, which was a blessing. Hope all is well with you. 💞
Congratulations, Lauren! On my way to read the rest.
Thanks, Liz! 🥰
You’re welcome, Lauren!
