Nameless

"A mother's love is made in heaven." Quote Written By Poet

She was a young and beautiful bride,
then her handsome husband died.
The fast car came out of nowhere,
there was nothing left but prayer.
Life was about to take her on a wild ride,
but she could not go and hide.
A precious baby girl was born,
she was told to be happy and do not mourn.
For now she is dressed in pink and is nameless,
lying in the hospital crib blameless.
Loving adopted parents would come,
and save her as she sucked her thumb.
Somethings can start out bad and end up good,
our new name is parenthood.

Such a touching, sad poem dear Paula that draws the reader in. A wonderful title too. ‘ for now she is dressed in pink and is nameless’’ lying in the hospital crib blameless’ is so profound. Arr!

A well written and heart touching story, Paula. Many times, children find good parents that raise them with love and support, and they turn out well-adjusted and happy. Of course, we normally hear of the tragedies, and the abuse of adopted children. Thanks for sharing your poetic talents with us, my friend. Have a great weekend! Bill

This is very moving Paula. I guess the young bride was overcome with being a single mom and unable to care for her baby after it's birth? It's wonderful that the infant was adopted into a loving home, very touching.

Paula, this is awesome. I know life is not a smooth highway. Nor is is a field of iridescent bubbles and giggles. That’s plain nuts! The heroine passed on her gift to the world, not kill the baby! Great ending, delightfully shines of generosity and bravery. You know I am FAVING this. I like depth in poetry. Pangie xxxx
