In honor of my baby and the past 6 months that I've had to live without her, I tried to get some of my emotions out by writing this poem/thing.
I imagined her birth.
Oh, how she was born, pushing into this world.
Oh, how she breathed!
Oh, how she cried. Wailed. Screamed.
Oh, how I cried, screamed, wailed.
When she was born, limp and lifeless
into this world.
She did not slip easily out,
but had to be tugged and twisted
into this world.
Oh, we held her body, but it wasn't really her,
she was already gone,
sliding from this world
into the next.
And then it was over.
a beautiful poem. I can only imagine how you must have felt writing it, but you certainly captured the painful moment poignantly. Thinking of you on Kayla's 6 month anniversary...
