Etched On My Heart

Etched on my Heart I carved your name on the track today, Lilianna is now etched there forever. Each letter is already on my heart, Nothing will ease its weight. On the other side, I stand at your grave, There your name is carved in stone. A mother should never bury her child. But since I’ll never forget, you are still here.

It's funny. I saw this picture that asked for a poem using the picture. I thought of the babies I've lost, each one I never held, but love completely. Lilianna was one of them. Thank you for your kindness. The weight of the loss never goes away. Blessings, Terri Ann
