Daily Prompt #5
Finding out was the easy part
First she missed a month
And soon every morning began
With some sickness and vomiting
There were hugs and tears
When that little blue cross appeared
And they told their mothers and fathers
That soon they would hold
Their newborn grandchild
Time for an ultrasound came
And they decided
For the sake of choosing a name
They would like to know the gender
Her eyes filled with tears
As she hugged her husband
Both of them simply overjoyed
At the news that they were having
A little baby boy
Times passed and her belly grew
Along with the love she had
For this child she barely knew
But at week twenty~one
She knew something was wrong
The pitter patter of his feet
Ceased across the surface of her skin
She tried to have hope
But then the bleeding began
And her husband rushed to take her in
They searched for his heartbeat
That little melody that gave them life
But it appeared his song had come to an end
As if his life was connected to hers
She began to break down
And lose all refrain
Her husband held her
Struggling through his own tears
As she cried for the child
She would never see with her own eyes
And she cried
My God did she cry for him
The little boy
Who never existed at all
Dedicated to anyone who has ever lost a child. My prayers are with you. <3
