A soothing touch, woke her up
She opened her eyes slowly
Seeing her better half, she clinched
He looked away, avoiding her gaze
She tried to move, she shifted
But she felt the pain from her wounds
Her body still aching
Exhausted from hours of endless contractions of sweet labor
She stared at her empty bedside
Her angel, was nowhere to be found
Her weary eyes questioning
But nobody dared to talk
A man in white uniform went in
Breaking the tension of silence
In his arms, he was holding something
Wrapped in satin white cloth
It was her angel fast asleep.... deep asleep
She looked so delicate, and, purplish and ... so still?
She felt her heart, it was non-beating
She felt her air, it was non-breathing
She was shocked!
devastated!
wrecked!
crushed!
,,,,,, And Heartbroken!
She gathered all her strength that was left of her
She screamed and whimpered!!!
As she held her perished infant tightly
She was in deep agony, in yearning, mourning the death of a joyful birth
Wishing that her cries would wake her up, but ended up in desperation
She gave up in utter frustration
Hovering for comfort from dear ones, they consoled her
Looking now at the still life in her arms
She planted her first and last kiss
Unselfishly, she offered up her little one wholeheartedly
..... "God has you in His arms now, Iwill have you forever in my heart.... 💗
