Tethered To a Moment
Tethered to that moment
She shed tears
That time when her unborn child died
Heaven’s love bestowment
Brought no cheers
Crushed, teary-eyed…Oh! How she cried!
Doctors couldn’t save her child
Her heart failed
Those awaited baby times gone
Dreaming of her, she smiled
Then sore wailed
‘twas hard, but she had to move on
One day, she’d bear more kids
She had hope
Her God would not leave her bereft
She prayed with closed eyelids
She could cope
Though she’d ne’er forget her heart’s cleft
