1.
This century
His end may not make the news
Nor for this year
Nor this month.
2.
But for this day
His end would make serious dent
As he holds her hand
To weather this storm.
3.
Yes, on their knees, they sob
For 'tis not only his end
Which would mark heavy plight
Three felt it in this sad twist.
4.
Beautiful burden....
Gone for good.
Tears bring back nought:
They both lost out....this day.

Title is deliberately awkward.
Two people in suffering, yet grow ever closer......having gone through a (late) spontaneous abortion.
