A Poem for Them

A part of me

You once were

Unexpectedly knocking on life's door

I changed my ways for you 

Each day ready to start anew

Excited yet filled with fear

Knowing you were what I held dear

Then when least expected

Bad news they said

My babies had all become dead

A part of me 

You once were

Mourning you in my heart forever more
