My Child I Never Knew

By Pityful Me

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

My child I never knew The one I never hugged I love you, you know How you ask? I love you because.... I remember you Your weight in my womb Your twists and turns Sometimes I imagine I heard your cries Did you hear mine? While you were snuggled inside My child I never knew The one I never kissed I still cry today Why you ask? I cry because My child who was never really mine Just on loan short nine month term I pray you would keep a small fetal memory with a shaky hand The hand that signed the papers was filled with love It believed it was the only safe thing for you The hand was connected to a heart A heart beating Karen became your mommy I sometimes imagine I was her Written February 11th, 2002 © on Feb 11 2002 11:42 AM PST   0 • 1
