I never wanted to send you away but my Love; you just couldn't stay.
With each passing day, the options I constantly weigh.
All I have is all I'd give just to see you play.
I pray some day you'll no longer be, oh, so far away.
Maybe we can take a "vaycay", as they say & watch the palm trees sway.
I Love You with all my mind, body, heart & soul - I wish I could have been there the moment you started to crawl.
I've never fed you under a shawl, nor did I ever hear your call.
I will hold my head up high & promise not to cry.

- Comment from author about the poem: I don't feel like this poem is quite finished. it's filled with more emotion and truth than I would like but it just feels empty to me. it's unedited and choppy, but enjoy until I finesse it!

KRM, it sounds like you had to give away a baby, and my heart goes out to you. Don't change anything!!!
It is raw, emotional, from the heart. A very difficult theme, but very beautifully written.
While they say that good writing is good re-writing, sometimes something appears on paper (or the screen) that is just perfect the first time. And in my humble opinion, this is one of them.
As always thank you fred! I appreciate your feedback.
