babies, babies, babies
everybody loves babies
fat babies, skinny babies
ugly ones, snuggly ones
forlorn babies
soon-to-be-born babies

i have no babies
but i carried one once
and mourned its death
no retake on this scene
dream or no dream

There must be a poem in here somewhere.

Yann-Thank you so much for your comments.  I have only ever been pregnant one time in my life and I miscarried.  I wrote this about that experience.

you know, Faith, when one of the great poets of all time (David of Psalms fame) experienced what you have, he said regarding his loss "I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me" and hope was born (thank you for sharing this lovely write)
