Daily Prompt #5

Finding out was the easy part

First she missed a month

And soon every morning began

With some sickness and vomiting

There were hugs and tears

When that little blue cross appeared

And they told their mothers and fathers

That soon they would hold

Their newborn grandchild

Time for an ultrasound came

And they decided

For the sake of choosing a name

They would like to know the gender

Her eyes filled with tears

As she hugged her husband

Both of them simply overjoyed

At the news that they were having

A little baby boy

Times passed and her belly grew

Along with the love she had

For this child she barely knew

But at week twenty~one

She knew something was wrong

The pitter patter of his feet

Ceased across the surface of her skin

She tried to have hope

But then the bleeding began

And her husband rushed to take her in

They searched for his heartbeat

That little melody that gave them life

But it appeared his song had come to an end

As if his life was connected to hers

She began to break down

And lose all refrain

Her husband held her

Struggling through his own tears

As she cried for the child

She would never see with her own eyes

And she cried

My God did she cry for him

The little boy

Who never existed at all

Dedicated to anyone who has ever lost a child. My prayers are with you. <3
