Childless
Does not mean
Less thanChildless
When not by choice
Means to be forever
Without the children
We expected, dreamed about
Wished for, hoped for
WantedThese children who never came
Are deeply loved,
Are heavily grieved,
Always missedWhen involuntary,
Childless means child lossThose of us who experience
This deep loss
Have loved as profoundly and
Grieved as heavily,
As any parent would
