I called you in the middle of october <br />When I called you the first time, you were not there <br />Nor the second, but the third, you were <br />When I heard your voice, I almost hung up <br /> <br />But then you said my name <br />We started slowly talking, then I brought up the subject, and you cried <br />You cried because you were happy and you loved me <br /> <br />You told me you wanted to be there for me <br />You wanted to take care of me and our baby <br /> <br />At six months pregnant, you got drafted to the war in Iraq <br />My heart sunk when you told me this had happened <br />You told me though that you would return, I believed you <br /> <br />Everyday I would cry for you, and write you my love <br />Everyone of those days i grew closer to becoming bigger <br /> <br />The day that my water broke, was the day that I cried the hardest <br />You were not there to hold my hand and tell me that you loved me <br /> <br />Our baby girl named Anne Marie Rose had black hair, green eyes, pale white skin, red lips, her eyes were as big as the moon, and she weighed six pounds and nine ounces <br />She was born April 22,2013 <br />On our day in April<br /><br />Shelby Jasmin Estrada<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/our-day-in-april-part-3/
