Poetry: When I think of you

My tribute to the children we will never know



The silence overwhelms me, for it's where your laugh should be...
and where there should be smiles, pain is all I see.
The tiny hands reach out but nothing ever touches me...
because I chose to terminate the possibilities.

I think of what you might have been, of who, and now and then...
imagination takes me to the kinder, might have beens.
And in the place I visit. you are there and laughter rings...
Then I return to life without you, with it's arrows and it's stings.

I did not think that I would ever feel such deep regret...
or feel such longing to go back and change that day and yet.
I cannot change what was, I must go forward and I do...
But it's the silence that I think of, when I think of you.
