I Miss You . . .

I hear her heartbeat in each breathtaking minute Her sweet smell of innocence still lingers on my heart Her fingers so tiny, yet her body so complete Alas it was my loss when to the Earth she was placed Four days she spent in this world so new Yet to the Earth she returned much too soon Sakinah was her name, this beauty angelic It means peace and tranquility, truly fitting I think back to the days when swollen I was And wonder still though ten years have passed Would another name have been better Would she still have been here? My destiny was such that she entered my heart Alas shortly thereafter we were shaken apart

The soul of the babe, dwelled, some 9 mts. in your heart, while her body grew in the womb, that's why the heart of a mother feels such tenderness toward their children. The passing of the physical form only sets the soul free to float in the vapor of God's love unto it's new home. Love waits, for mother love, God bless, Sincerely Moses
