I’ve sought to forget
Yet always I remember
An April day years ago
Colder than December

When life was lost
In shades of red
A slideshow playing
In my head

The searing ache
The burning pain
Etched in my memory
Some how remain

The lab technician looking grim
A slight shake of the doctor’s head
In one fleeting instant
All of my dreams – dead

The starkness of hospital rooms
A nurse’s audacity to smile
And say things’d get better
It’d just take a little while

Deprived of the joy
Of perfect fingers and toes
Left forever to wonder
Only god knows

I hate those words
“It wasn’t yet a baby”
because I know the truth
I felt it move inside me

A little while long past
Five years have come and gone
Yet still I feel the pain
At the loss of my little one

Yet even in the pain
A sense of hope still lingers
Because I know one day
I’ll be counting an angel’s perfect little fingers!

I could never write such a beautiful piece on a such a great yet sad topic for I am a man. You did a wonderful job.

StarrGazer:

I really liked this one a lot.  Your verses seem to flow really well, as well as your rhymes.  

You've done a good job both with technique and emotion here.  I like it a lot.
