Mila Rouge

you were not live

died in the womb

before I could hold you 

at birth and kiss your soul


my little princess

the moon in your heart

that failed to beat

tore the promise

of peace innocence desire

to walk by my side

and I grieve

How mournful, the pain of that lost promise so real~

Thank you Michelle. It was a long time ago and my wife and I have 5 plus 3 wonderful children. But grief is important. Kind wishes, Kai
