A Poem
I had a dream last night.
It wasn't scary, I didn't feel any fright.
It was just you and I and our life.
We weathered the storms and celebrated all the good.
We were a family and together we stood.
You grew up strong like children should.
I enjoyed everyday with you.
And with a beautiful grace you grew.
Everyday with you was fresh and new.
Oh how I felt blessed.
We gave each moment our best.
I wouldn't have settled for less.
We lived, loved and cried.
Then as you had as a baby in real life you died.
When I awoke the horrible truth struck me, another night I had survived.
I wish I could stay in that dream and that it had been real.
I must struggle thru another day, so another night with you I can steal.
Please don't judge me, this is the only way mommy can deal.
On my face the wind is blowing.
And I wonder are you happy, are you still growing.
Scars remind us where we've been they don't have to dictate where we're going.
S.N.M.
