Unfortunately, nothing in this world is ever fair.
So this is for my first angel - a bit of disjointed free verse that I can't get out of my mind.
Dear angel of my heart,
Today you might have been mine
If life had not been so cruel
I could have showed the world to you
As you would have brought a new one to me
Perhaps if I had done something different
My heart would not break as it does at this moment
Even now there is no rounded belly
Or tiny, perfect hand to ease my pain
What lies behind me is string of failures
And like clockwork they still come
How I wish that I could know you
If only for one perfect moment
Yet life is indeed unfair and unkind
And I am broken by the strain
Today you might have been mine
And how closely I would have held you
I would have memorized your every feature
And never let you leave my side
Yet gone from me you are
Just as the one who followed soon after
So now I sit here with a pain that knows no end
And wonder how much longer it will be
Before I can heal my grief
On this day you would have been mine
Love always,
Your Mom
