Even the thought <br />that you just might <br /> <br />exist <br /> <br />sent us into raptures. <br /> <br />We loved <br />even the idea of you <br /> <br />and when you <br />manifested yourself <br /> <br />as a faint blue line <br />on the home pregnancy test <br /> <br />it was...as if <br />your spirit moved amongst us. <br /> <br />Knickers ‘round ankles <br />hopping with excitement <br /> <br />your Mum weed <br />again & again <br />to make sure <br /> <br />that you <br />were you <br /> <br />(our dream come true) <br /> <br />spirit taking on <br />Existence <br /> <br />dressing itself <br />in the clothes of flesh <br /> <br />a heartbeat trapped <br />between here & Heaven <br /> <br />See? <br /> <br />Even as a faint blue line <br />we loved you.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/faint-blue-line/
