PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I can still remember the excitement of seeing that plus sign
My heart pounded and thoughts flooded me with emotions
At the time it all seemed so perfect, I couldn’t have thought to ask for more
The weeks dragged on
And just days before I would hear your heartbeat for the first time
I gasped awake as if something had scared me from a deep sleep
At the time I did not understand the uneasiness that came over me
Only when I heard no beating and sad words surrounded me did I think back
And when in the hospital I saw your small silhouette on the screen
Only then did I understand that you left me that night to be with the angels
It’s been so long
Sometimes I still find myself crying at the thought of you
The pain has faded more with each year
But your memory will remain with me until the end
And I know when the time comes for me to leave this place
You’ll be waiting
And I will finally hold you in my arms
