Heartbreak at Twilight, a Poem

Corrie's Mom

We’ve all had heartbreak or will at some point. It doesn’t matter the time of day. I wrote today, and I haven’t written creatively for some time. Yesterday, April 27, marked one month until Corrie’s angel anniversary, and so I write.

They say teacher turn over is high right now, and many teachers will leave the profession in five years or less. I will enter my seventh year as a full-time teacher, and my 12th year in education after I'd started as a sub and teacher assistant. I was the student in the 1990s you did not want in your classroom because I was diagnosed with ADHD and did not know how to socialize with other kids. I was due to be tested for autism, but this was considered an ostracizing experience for a child then, especially a girl. I am a third generation teacher and author of seventeen creative works.

  1. Your words—born from the quiet ache of an angel anniversary and written in twilight’s hush—invite us into the sacred space where sorrow and love merge, reminding us that healing can begin even in our deepest, most broken nights.
