To A Child Not Born

What is darkness?
What is light?
Will not be shown to you this time

My child who never was born
We saw you run away
     and we’ll miss you
just give us a day
     to mourn and we’ll

 Say our goodbyes, your mother and I
Once you were inside

Now

     you’ll never die

For though you are my child not born
You are the sign
that there someday
     will be a next time

PS: Thanks for visiting, my darling child
You were loved, if only for a little while
