While preparing for the yard sale…there it was… Just as tiny as I cautiously recalled It is your hospital bracelet… Amongst the many papers sprawled Momentarily, I remembered seeing your tiny toes…tiny nose… I pictured your precious little face… I recalled how much your angelic demeanor and innocent charm led my thoughts to race I often think about you still today I wonder what lied ahead What had become of your precious little self… Did you have children and wed? Forever doubting but knowing I had made the right decision Fully certain still today With selfless, caring precision I wonder if you ever thought of me… Wondered what I was like I wondered if you knew how much you meant to me… Or were you purely full of spite? Soon, I am leaving this world… And as for me, you will never know You will not know my true unselfishness… Since I have no more candles left to blow I will always treasure you…my love I will always value the very few moments we had I will always keep you close to my heart So there is no reason to be sad So please, my true prize, my little one … All doubts, please cast aside For my tiny little treasure …your bracelet… Will forever be at my side ******************************************************************* Note: Please note that I wrote this in first person just to add drama to the story.
