Challenge
Write about a time everything changed in the blink of an eye.
Baby Boy Lost
Lying in tiny casket
blue velvet overalls
long black eyelashes
resting on plump cheeks.
Soft dark curls framing
cherub face so young.
Baby boy Saul was lost
in the blink of an eye.
Chased after ducklings
into the murky water.
Mournful cries of Grandfather
searching for the child
sobbing as his heart broke
permeated the neighborhood.
And now 3 year old child
lies in his silk bed
cushioned with our love
waiting for the angels
to take him home.
