Swiped Her Heart

She was blessed with one baby Truly best part of her life Shared custody with her ex Simply took her breath away He was growing up so fast Little darling with big heart Dad’s unsafe tires and black ice Was all it took to return Her lil’ angel to heaven No number of told you so’s Would ever change the outcome In a daze she walks about With a big black gaping hole Where her heart used to once beat AP: 2nd place 2020 Posted on May 14, 2018

It was actually a woman at work many years ago. Totally heartbreaking to see her try to keep it together.

To lose a child is unimaginable, sadly you hear of it sometimes, we surely have to count our blessings sometimes. Tom.
