to give he takes

Folder: 
Life

she lays in the hospital bed

with her first born right at her side

he knows it wont be long

still her pain she tries to hide

he holds her hand and wispers

words she'd hoped to hear

he held her head in his arms

he stayed with her so near

when he fell asleep she tried not to cry

for she was affraid he would wake

she left him so peacefully sleeping

for she knew his heart she would break

when he woke in the morning his mother was gone

but in the room there layed a new life

he gently held his new baby sister

as he rocked her he started to cry

he smiled when he looked at her

she smiled right back at him

for they both new of the life they would have

and they were both ready to begin

he held his new sister and sung her a song

about a life that they would soon have

and how he knows how hard it would be

to never know your mom or real dad

how he hopes that one day she could realize

the true beauty of this day

that in order for god to give a new life

god must take one away

Author's Notes/Comments: 

this poem i just wrote 2006-08-06 20:33:25. i think its my favorite so far. its a lot different from the rest. i feel sorry for people who really have to live like this. thankfully i never had to, but i did loose a brother when we were both young. i know its not the same but i do know some of what you go through.

My grandfather died a few months before my sister was born, the great circle of life always continues
