Christina

You are so fragile
like lace given life.
Yet there is a fierceness
in your tiny fists,
determination in
your little face,
that didn’t quite
make it into this world.
I know how strong you were
because I was strong with you.
The delicate threads of our lives
entwined for eternity,
though it is only me
who is here.
You were just a precious thought,
a memory waiting to be made.
I never got to know you,
you never got to be.
But I will love you always.
