My Child....

Oh my dear sweet child,

Why did you wish me goodbye...and abide...

I longed for you since years...

But you left me weeping with tears..

You came into my life like a bright 'Star'

And left me so quickly ,away from me far...

I started and ended my day with you...

Every single moment I breathed for you..

Eyes were glued to the clock all the time...

Wishing when that day would come, when

I would hold you in my arms and say you are 'Mine'

So many wishes and fantasies I had of you...

It seems like a dream that I had...and now

Left with just memories of you like fresh water dew....

Feel a void inside of me...feel a part of me has been torn off me...

We will miss you every single day...no matter the pain

You will always be our first child, whom we loved and craved...

You were dear and precious to us...

You were loved and cherished by us...

May you rest in peace and be with god...

Look forward for the day when we would again be blessed...

And receive our precious little one to live together in our own nest...

P.S -I drafted this poem lying in the hospital bed, the day I had an abortion. I lost my baby in the fifth month of pregnancy..it was a boy...

My Child....
