The One
The ONE
You were meant to be it
The One
That would give meaning to my life
Others are blessed with your being-ness
Not I
Why?
In all my childhood dreams
You would be there
To hold you
To make you feel safe
To cuddle you when you cried
To cradle you when you are hurt
We would play together
I would teach you about life and the world
Take you places far and wide
One day you would have some of your own
And they would grow so you too would be blessed
As I held them in my arms
Yet life never brought you along
Some sort of physical defect
And now I miss you all the more
You were meant to be the one
A child to love and treasure
But you never came
