Long To See Your Sweet Face

Two Pink Lines we knew it was true,
Sooner than later we would meet you.
I yelled for your Daddy, and smiled just so,
He stood there in shock and a glorious glow.
We made lots of phone calls, and shared our great news,
I had lots of symptoms and even some clues.
Then one day as I was taking out the trash,
something came over me and I knew in a flash.
Everything was wrong and I prayed it wasn't so,
So I called up your Daddy and said we must go.
To the hospital to check on your stats,
Waiting so patiently for the results to come back.
We were told the bleeding was normal, you were just fine,
Worrying uncontrollably because you were mine.
Waiting for the Doctor seemed to take forever,
I guess she just thought she was being so clever.
Up on the screen we could see your silhouette,
The doctor made a grave face and I said no not yet.
There is no heartbeat is the words we dreaded most,
The tears started to fall and I felt like a ghost.
I wanted to run and I wanted to hide,
I wanted you there standing at my side.
I long now to hold you and hear your soft cries,
Play with your belly and hear your faint sighs.
Never will I have the chance to kiss your sweet lips,
Wrap your sweet legs around my soft hips.
I know you are in Heaven and safe you will always be,
But oh I long to touch the baby I will never see.
