I received a request to write an "Esme" poem, so I did. I hope you like it. I think it actually turned out very well. I must have had some kind of writer's block before Jasper's poem, because these have been getting really fun and easy to write.

Esme Cullen

I am a loving mother, a wonderful person; kind, and caring, and welcoming

I wonder why my husband had to be so cruel, why I had to lose my baby

I hear my screams as I fall from the cliff – they resemble those of my lost child

I see the poor, lost life of my darling child and long to escape the pain

I want another chance to love and care for that which I lost

I am a vampire, bound to live forever with Carlisle and my wonderful children

I pretend my new family is the one I should have had all along

I feel overwhelming love for Carlisle – the gracious man who saved me

I touch the lovely, pale faces of each of my new children

I worry I may never be able to love my new family properly

I cry in memory of my lost child

I am the mother that should have been, years ago

I understand Edward's loneliness during the decades of being single

I say his newfound love is a good one and Bella is a wonderful person

I dream Edward will find a new, wonderful happiness

I try to support him in all his choices, encourage him to do what he thinks is right

I hope they are both happy and will continue their lives in contentment

I am content with my new life, and happy with the second chance I have been given to love and care for a family
