My niece should be three weeks old right now
I should be going to my sister's house every day
....Marveling at the mystery of her birth....
Ooohing and Aaahing over how fast she's growing
And just how tiny she is

My niece should be sleeping right now
My sister should be laying down right beside her
Lost in the sweet dreams of motherhood

I shouldn't be feeling this pang of envy
Whenever my 18 mth old niece say my name
And be jealous of my sister-in-law
Who has three beatiful kids

Or feel guilty when I feel my baby move inside of me

Knowing the saddest thing is what was supposed to be.

Cold hands means a warm heart
