The Child Who Wasn't Born

A poem that I wrote a few years ago after I'd been talking to my daughter about the child we lost before she was born. Please note the child is not described as boy/girl as I never knew it's sex

                                                               THE CHILD WHO WASN'T BORN

A strange thing happened

As I lay in my bed

An image of a little child

Began to fill my head

"I'm sorry I coulldn't stay

But it really was not my time

But don't worry about me daddy

Because your kid is doing fine

You see I'm with the angels

But I watch you from up high

If you want to be close to me

Just look up to the sky"

And then it was all over

It began to fade away

Tears filled my tired eyes

As I pleaded for it to stay

And then plunged back into darkness

My heart was broke and torn

With the love that I'll always have

For my child who wasn't born
