Longing To Cradle

Longing to cradle 

Another appointment
Another nurse
Another blood test
This ain't the first 

Another gown
Another scan
Another tear
This wasn't the plan

Another tablet
Another needle
Another fake smile
Hiding the pain I feel

Another heart broke
Another tear shed
Another "let's keep going"
But I just hide in my bed

Another fresh day
Another prayer to keep strong
Another baby embryo unfrozen
To be put back were it belongs

My baby I'll wait for as long as it takes
With you in my arms there will be no more heartbreaks

Poet Destroyer A

Dominique Ryan, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
