the flutter of your
silent wings
is the music of my
beating heart

the quiet tune
your soul
sings to mine
fills my life with
your song

always and forever
till I see you again

(For Angelito)

Author's Notes: I wrote this little poem for Angelito. You were so very tiny when I had to let you go, but your too short life has filled me with everlasting gratitude to have been your mother.

I dedicate this poem to all mothers, who have gone through miscarriage or stillbirth. Your children will always live on in your hearts.
