Our Agony

I didn’t see her face.
you did!
I didn’t get to hear of sweet little girl voice.
You did!
I didn’t get to hear her say mommy and daddy!
You did!
I didn’t get to hold her tight.
You did!
I don’t get to dream about her.
You do! 
I had all the pain, and the blood, and the agony. 
But in the end we both are without her everyday!
(Dedicated to Peyton)
