Memories That Never Were

Folder: 
Grief & Grieving

 

No birth announcement
photo album
baby book.

 

No tiny little shoes,
box of outgrown clothes
finger-paintings.

 

No first word
lock of hair
precious moments.

 

No first day of school
Christmas pageants
birthday parties.

 

No first date
prom
graduation.

 

Only memories...
   that never were.
