Ode to Life

Wed, 01/14/2015 - 12:46 -- Makpar

 

To the day my heart started beating

you were so excited.

Rushing across town looking at all the clothing racks

Am I a boy or a girl they asked.

The suspense almost killed you

The baby shower was a blast I could hear you

laughing and having a joyful time.

To the day I was born  

you were sleeping having happy dreams.

I thought it would be the best time to say hello.

Daddy rushed us to the hospital.

I didnt mean to put you in so much pain.

But im here now Mommy.

I’ve waited my whole life to meet you.

The next few days were long being held by

everyone was exhausting.

Tonight  my chest hurt.

I cried to tell you but

the people in the blue shirts and pants rushed me

away from you,I was scared.

I could hear you weeping for me.

My chest hurts really bad mommy.

Hi mommy,I can see you now.

Why are you crying?

Can’t you see me?  

I watched you leave the hospital mommy,what about me?

Can’t you hear me crying for you?

I miss hearing your heart.

Feeling your loving and smooth touch.

I miss being held in your arms

and smelling your sweet smell.

I’m sorry I had to leave you so soon.

Tell Daddy I miss him to.

I can still hear him. His deep voice

used to sooth me when I was restless.

The memories of you are sweet.

I will always love you.

Goodbye my precious family.
