The Almost Child

I remember exactly the spot

the place I sat

when she told me

I remember the cooling coffee

forgotten

when I was told

I remember the uncertainty

in her voice

when she told me

but

I remember how I smiled

the joy I felt

when I first knew

my almost son

I agree with Taylor.
A lot left unsaid.
But it's best left there, as the poem works beautifully.
Thank.
