Image result for baby grave in winter

I held my baby so perfect and very dead and kissed his cold lips. Till my last breath I will mourn, my mourning shall shatter hearts. I dressed him in blue and laid him in sweet repose, many passed with tears. I had to let my boy go, that parting haunts me ever. _______________________ December 19, 2017 Poetry/Tanka/Simple Mutterings/Mourning and Parting Copyright Protected, ID 17-9742-39-0 All Rights Reserved.

Oops, I just wrote a note and realized I was mistaking you for Connie!! So I am rewriting the message. I was telling Connie she should use this theme in the contest of Broken Wings Winter Cemetery. (so silly of me). Anyway, this is quite poignant, Constance. You choose a beautiful picture to represent the sadness with your words.

This is so heartbreaking. My sister went through this so I know how this felt... Although this breaks my heart, I really love it. It's a win for me... hugs and smiles :)
