[bodytext] => Forever they had waited,for this miracle of life Just to hold her for a moment, as she struggled to survive Her arrival in this world, was too soon,and this they knew As they held her tiny hands and looked in her eyes of blue The mother held her to her face,and whispered in her ear Please hang on my darling,don't leave me now you're here She felt the tiny breaths, as they shortened one by one Until her lifeless body, would then relinquish none The father wrapped his arms around the mother and the child And kept at bay the raging,that inside him tempered wild Her baby blues closed forever,her soft pink mouth held a smile She had given so much to them, though her time was just a while Now to their precious girl,they sadly said goodbye It was time for her to find her wings, and join the angels in the sky The mother dressed her babe,and put on the bonnet trimmed with lace Then wrapped her in a shawl of white,and kissed her beautiful face Weak from childbirth and sorrow,the mother held her to her chest And asked her husband to take them home,to lay their girl to rest She wanted to take their daughter to where she would have grown So desperately she needed to take her baby home In a meadow of yellow grass,swaying in the breeze Outside a sandstone cottage,underneath an old gum tree A bed of soft brown earth has been made up through the day And two lost souls watch over ,where her tiny body lay A mother's heart is shattered,a father trying to be brave As tears fall from their faces onto their baby's grave There they stand in moonlight,silent in their pain Wishing they could hear her breath just one more time again They would have stood forever,watching over day and night But from the sky they heard a whisper,and saw an awesome light Her tiny voice came to them and as they saw her baby blues She whispered gently,you don't need to watch over, For I'm watching over you......

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
