Once Upon a Mother

I was once a mother sometime ago
That all slipped away 
The dreams 
The  hopes
Losing a child is a harsh reality
 One  that is faced upon daily 

The hollow feeling of emptiness
As you go down to the abyss of the unknown
The plans you once made fade now
In a blink of an eye all gone 
It’s almost like a dream from which you cannot awake
It takes courage and faith to face the days ahead
Especially when all you feel inside is dead 

Your were born silent not a sound you made 
That sound was deafening  on that very day 
I will never understand why or how it came to be
But know God has his own great will 
 And  What’s meant to be will be

As the day you were born draws near to be 
I still hold your heartbeat inside of me 
My darling sweet baby girl you will always be mine 
I miss you each and every single day  
Love from your mother
Now and always
