The doctors said you died <br />Some time before <br />Yet I felt you <br />Swimming around <br />Brushing hands across my belly <br />Thrusting feet into my ribs. <br /> <br />On the still spring day <br />When the pain first banded <br />Around my abdomen I prayed <br />Harder then I ever have or will again <br />Begging God for his divine intervention <br />To help you keep you in for <br />Only 9 ½ weeks more. <br /> <br />Sobbing as labor continued <br />Knowing I wouldn't be leaving <br />With a bundle of joy <br />But with guilt and regrets <br />Wondering what I did wrong <br />To make this happen. <br /> <br />They whisked away your body <br />Saying it was for the best <br />After more than two years <br />I am still wondering <br />What you would have looked like <br />Been like as <br />My baby girl.<br /><br />Jody Renee Pantiga<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/currently-untitled/
