inscriptions of loss
dwell in a mother's heart
inconsolably her tears fall

within her womb a child
grew
twas born
and twas loved and nurtured
unto adulthood
an untimely
occurrence
dimmed the child's existence

ever the mother
shall silently weep
she'll express her lasting painΒ Β 
of losing a loved child
her days filled
with an unceasing rain
My mother felt the loss of her fifth born child Gail....she was only 24 years old when she died.
