We Miss You So

Hastily we entered the room,

but you had already gone.

Left behind was your tiny body

still wrapped in your Mother's arms,

The pink blanket snug.

Your eyes closed

as though you were asleep,

But you weren't!

The emptiness and pain

was so heavy it took away my breath.

The saddness in your Father's eyes

as he tried to comfort your Mother,

was pure agony.

Untraveled was the pain and hurt.

We said goodbye to a soul that had already gone.

Leaving us empty and alone.

We'll see you again one day

in all your glory and form.

But until then,

We miss you so!

To my Granddaughter:

There are no words that can describe the loss of a child,
The pain that a mother and father feels.
I have never felt that pain, but I have seen it.
