Charles Wallace Poet Rhyme

My Unborn Child

Each day I wonder why you never had a chance to be

I know you're in a better place but wish you were with me

And how I wanted so much for you to just be born

Your brother and sisters hug me tight, but for you I still must mourn

Would you have been my little girl or my baby boy

Either one, I did not care, you would have been my joy

Never heard your laugh or your little cry

Did you look like me or have your Mommy's eyes

I even still reach out and let you take my hand

Then we walk along the beach, but only my footprints in the sand

First day of school arrives and the bell will ring

Here I stand alone because you I couldn't bring

Then the night arrives for your big first date

If you were my daughter, this boy I'd probably hate

Now you want the keys and ask me how to drive

I sit down in the car but you do not arrive

We'll never have the chance to watch your high school play

There will be no cap and gown or graduation day

There will not be a wedding, you'll never say "I do"

Or have a chance to move away, so that I can miss you

I won't be able to admire the way that you have grown

Wish that I could witness how you raise those children of your own

Though you're in my heart and mind, there will always be some pain

And all those thoughts of you bring these tears, my rain 

I can not wait to meet you, so I'll no longer weep

Until that day arrives, I pray the Lord your soul to keep
