Shattered Dreams: Poetry of Loss II



A BABY LOVED
A thought, a wish, a spark!

A secret, a joy, a life.
A specialness carried within.

A spot, a cramp, a tear.
A dread, a fear, a sorrow.
An emptiness carried within.

A rage, a pain, a loss.
A sadness, an ache, a love.
A grief carried within.



WHY TAKE MINE???
With so many babies born in poverty,
So many born unwanted and unloved.
Why take mine?

With so many babies born to drug addicts,
So many abused or abandoned.
Why take mine?

With so many babies born to teenagers,
So many born unplanned and to other families.

WHY TAKE MINE?!?
