She holds him.

So much emotion...good work.

Thanks Cav! I was a bit concerned about the lay out I used, any suggestions?

I'm not terribly comfortable restructuring other's poetry, but here is what I thought:

Time ticks slower today
as the young baby deceased
leaves the arms of a new mother
who's dreams came true
for those few short hours of life,
then shattered into the night.

Her every inch of emotion
comes crashing down.
Wondering how she'll ever recover.

She cries.
Tears for the one she just lost,
and more tears for the ones
she never got to see.

As she lays down,
she gasps for air,
hoping to awake from this horrid dream.

She holds him.

Excellent Cav! Now why hadn't I thought of that? And I asked for your help cav, so no need to feel uncomfortable :wink: It's not like you changed the words or anything! Thanks!

Okie dokie!

A powerful, pain-ridden piece. Kudos!

It is, isn't it?

'Tis :-)
