A Love Unmet, Yet Eternal

We were already preparing for your arrival

Yet fate had other plans in store

We were already celebrating you

Perhaps too soon, as time slipped through the door

 

We already loved you

Imagining the life you'd lead

How your parents would nurture you,

And when you'd take that first step, indeed

 

We believed this world was yours

A place for you to thrive and explore

Yet it wasn't meant to be

Fate had a different path in store

 

We will always wonder who you might become

A life unrealized, lost in the womb

You left us with questions, aching and deep

But above all, we mourn the chance to meet

 

Rest easy, little one

We'll hold your parents close, their hearts entwined

For you made them parents, and in that moment

You gifted them a love that time cannot unwind

 

We were already preparing for your arrival

Yet destiny had a different say

We hope you're safe and warm now

Wherever you may be, come what may
