My Emma

There she was

So precious and beautiful

Eyes as deep as the ocean blue

A spirit as sweet as a flower

On a bright day

I have been waiting 9 months for this moment

I would name her Emma

My baby

All mine

Holding her in my arms

I felt like a mother

For the first time

We had a bond like no other

My little Emma

She turned so cold

She didn’t make a sound

The nurse took her out of my arms

Away with my Emma

The nurse came back

Without my Emma

Tears rolling down her face

She didn’t have to tell me

I knew

I would not take her home

I could not hold her in my arms any longer

She would not grow up and marry the man she loved

And have children of her own

She is gone

Forever and ever

Never to return into my arms

My baby

My Emma
