Dear Son,

Dear Son,

A Poem by Zayir
"

The pain of a miscarriage

"
Dear son,

I constantly think about the man you could have been
Some nights I can't sleep cause I wonder what our life could have been 
Many nights I stay up and just cry because I miss you 
I have dreams where you're here and everything is perfectly fine
I won't ever to be able to get over you 
But maybe you won't be on my mind in due time
When I heard that I lost you I was never the same 
Your life itself was a blessing
First traumatic experience and it makes me feel insane 
You changed my ways and that's a blessing 
I can just imagine this picture,
Dark skin brown eyes sweet smile with a bright future
Everyone would be so happy if you were here 
You would have brought your mom and I together 
Even though you aren't here,
You'll always be in my heart forever

Love,
Dad

A life that was a blessing in itself, however fleeting and brief it was. Zayir, your words tell me that a journey can be momentous yet love is eternal. I could feel with you, reflect on his life with you!

Thank You!
Much love
You often read about the pain a mother has on losing a child through miscarriage, but this is the first time I have read about it from the perspective of a Dad. You did this well and conveyed real emotion. It got through to this reader.

Well done
