[DRAFT] Untitled poem



I still recall that day.
The day I found out, I was expecting.
The two lines were obvious to my eyes.
I was excited.

 

I will be a mom!
A mom that will love you unconditionally.
I will shower you with hugs when the world brings you down.
I will be right by your side to wipe your tears falling down your cheeks.
My joys will soon be cut short while waiting for your arrival.

 

There I sat on the table in the clinic.
The weather was beautiful.
The sun was shining through the windows.
The doctor came in to do the usual exam.
Out of nowhere, that beautiful day and happiness,
soon turned into a stormy moment for me.

 

It turns out your heart has stopped.
My dreams of holding you in the months to come,
will never arrive.
I will never get to touch your small hands and feet.
I will never see those tiny eyes of yours.
I will never hear you cry out when you are hungry.
I will never get to rock you in my arms,
as I watch you sleep,
I will never be able to sing to you,
songs that will calm your senses.
I will never see you grow.

 

You are a living beauty no matter what.
A joy to my heart when I knew I was pregnant.
I enjoyed touching my belly, even when the bump was not visible.
I enjoyed every moment I sang my heart out.
I knew you heard every note of it.
Even with the saddest moment of life,
I knew I gave you all the love a mother can give to her child.
I loved you since and will always love you even when you are gone.
I may never meet you face to face, but I love you with every piece of my heart.
