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 pain
of losing a loved child
her days filled
with an unceasing rain

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 pain
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.
