Broken Dreams
Emily packed her broken
dreams into a suitcase she
hid In the back of the closet
as if they were treasured
memorabilia from a show
She knew they would be
safe there from intruders
and any pest who would
want to rekindle memories
of her lost life of the past
Her unfulfilled dreams will
be stored forever and a day
so she’d never be nostalgic
so she could forget them and
perhaps never dream again
I dedicate this to all the mothers out there who packed their dreams away.

How do you do it? How do you take my breath away like that? How do you so easily make the tears fall as a smile spreads across my lips? How do you know what I hide so deeply? How did you find the words that I could not? Never mind, I don’t care how, I just care that you did. XOXOXO

You devastated me with this comment. I am so honored that this poem touched you. I was inspired by the sacrifices of women who constantly have to take a back seat because of love and family. These are the forgotten sacrifices that women make. Thank you for making my day with these,wonderful comments. Big hugs.

I was lucky to have a job even after we got kids. It was never easy when the kids are ill or something at school come up and you must be present. My parents in law were so helpful all those years and cared for the kids while we are working … It would have been a disaster if it’s not.
But even if I do have my dream job and earn quite good enough to raise the family, still there are certain dreams are unreachable when you have a family. For the kids are the first priority and anything else outside that frame is just a dream far away …

This hit me with a punch. Absolutely wonderful and so true. I remember the day many years ago when I did just that – decided on the spot I couldn’t write anymore – too many pressure, young family, work.

Luckily, a few years later things changed, family pressured me to dig out that ‘suitcase of dreams’ and start again.

Sad that so many take a refund on dreams for a routine they think is more practical.
I always told my sons that I never sacrificed anything for them, that everything I gave them – my time, opportunities, interest in their interests, surprises, discipline to help them reach their goals (and that means learning to self-direct, not to punish,) values to last all their lives – are things I wanted them to have.
I long wished for one more day with each of them, to hold them in my lap once more, read one more story, make French toast again, do one more unexpected fun thing. And then I got grandchildren. I don’t sacrifice for them either.
I hope anyone who reads your poem understands they must not put away their own dreams because that’s a great gift to those who love them.
Wonderful poem, Andrew. Touches so many important points.
