Newborn Baby

Newborn baby please don't cry Don't blame yourself that your mom died She perished for you, she had her time She wanted you to have yours in this life Newborn baby your mom loved you That's why she this life eschewed All for you she happily chose To bring to life her tiny pink rose Newborn baby one day you'll see Your mom committed an act of love for thee So you may live and be all you can be And don't forget this, her final decree Take care of your father he will need you to be strong Play all day and remember troubles won't stay long Be kind to your brother and let him sing you songs And do your best to get along Remember your mother and her sacrifice for you And honor her daily in all things that you do I was watching The Walking Dead marathon yesterday and Lori dies in childbirth. They have to cut the baby out because it's not coming out on it's own. There are no doctors or hospitals so she knows she's going to die but tells them to do it anyway because she can't lose her baby. I was inspired to write about it. I hope you enjoyed.

This is a sensitively written and touching poem. Out of tragedy - the baby is the silver lining. Your writing is easy to follow regarding this difficult topic.
