For Jeremy
Dearest Jeremy
My deepest regret
was never knowing you
even though I carried you
for twelve weeks.
Dearest Jeremy
Someday mommy will see you
hold you my baby
tell you I love you
just be with you
My baby Jeremy
without a marker
on the ground
in my heart
always you live.
My deepest regret
my darling son Jeremy
is not seeing you a man
marry the girl of your dream
and sire me a grandson.

Fine poem about a subject which is sort of taboo...but you handled it with such finesse
A winner for sure....

Lady C, thank you so much for reading and commenting. Actually its a long time ago, but I always hurt when I think of him, and how I will never see him grow into a young man.
