The Seed
It's there forever in your heart.
A tiny seed of joy.
Your hopes and dreams
and plans and schemes.
A future gone so fast.
Stolen, taken, empty now.
An ocean of tears to sail.
A storm inside with crashing waves,
Tossed and turned
and crashed and burned.
Heart forever broken.
Time will heal, it's no big deal.
6 years on it's still the same.
Changed my life forever.
Pink or blue
I never knew.
Memories in a cardboard box.
The future gone forever.
But then I look at what I have got.
So perfect and such treasure.
Their hopes and dreams,
Their plans and schemes.
A future there forever.
Love, pride and more beside.

Laura - A very sensitive subject, that must have been difficult to write about. I hope that you found the process cathartic in some way. Your pain comes through in the words, which are extremely well written and obviously heartfelt. I sympathise and commend at the same time.
