My Mommy is upset I can tell
She lost her Daddy, he wasn't well
He could not wait for me to be born
Only three months to go
I guess it was too long.
I wanted to meet my Grandpa so very bad
And see him smile, and hear him laugh
I guess that wasn't meant to be..
I heard Mom say he could not wait
to see my little smiling face.
I'm sure he would have been so proud
to see his new Grandson, but I guess
it won't be now.
I wish my Mommy wasn't so sad
It makes me feel really bad
I can hear her crying, and feel her pain
He must have been a very good man.
So, when I am born I hope I will be
The kind of boy my Grandpa wanted me
to be.

Of one who so deeply cared
Hot tears
by Jishi Santos
I left my Dad in bed and shook his hand
and took off to another place to work.
His handshake, always firm, was my last touch,
