A poem

*****************

This endless longing
*
Not a word
Not a gesture
Not a gift
Can fill the gap
*
Not a well done
Not a thumbs up
Not an ice cream
Can make it heal
*
The moments of hearing you should have done better
The moments of seeing a shaking head
and hearing a desperate sigh
Have created a gap
*
Not enough
words of appreciation
Not enough
gestures of admiration
Never a celebration
however small
showing you’ve done a great job
*
They would have given you the confidence to keep trying
To show your hard work
and talk about it with a smile
without longing for
a word
a gesture
a gift
telling you
you’re doing great
however small
*
