I Want to Thank You

Seven years ago today,
I brought forth life
The day I learned what true love meant

One year ago today,
You were taken
The day I truly understood the meaning of loss

How incredibly ironic
The importance of one day!

You made my life possible
I grew inside your womb

Though our road was full of bumps
Lessons were learned
I was taught
Life went on

On the date I became a mother
Was the date that I lost mine
The memories will not vanish
The hurt, the loss, the love does not end
A piece of me gone

I still feel pain
I still feel sorrow
I feel regret and I feel shame
Words should have come sooner
Time should have healed quicker!

The questions will always stand
What if?
What if you battled?
What if I pushed?
What if time was on our side?

But the lessons were taught
And I have learned
Your life will not be forgotten
Your presence will be missed

So, thank you!
For teaching me of love
Of sorrow
Of pain!
