You were going to be an astronaut
Achieving anything you wanted
Here I am missing you already
Especially along the aisles of asda
I catch myself everywhere. Whether
In the eyes of pregnant women
Or through the quiet tears of
Your beautiful mum. Heartbroken.
Your little heartbeat had ceased
I then had to wander the corridors
Of someone elses joy, stunned
A week away from sharing you
With the world. You will be to us
Forever cherished and missed
My heart will always miss a beat
Every hour in honour of you
I wrote this after our third failed pregnancy in 13 months. If you look closely you can see the scan picture in the photograph. Always look for silver linings.
