u were born just 7 weeks
after you were conceived
your birth and death
were one event
it's not your fault
it's not your fault
she wanted to protect you
her body couldn't save you
a woman's body should be
a nurturing home
for her baby
she couldn't do that
worthless feelings arose
she cried
the purest
and most painful
of tears
but your death
brought new life
you changed,
improved her body
to nurture a fresh
soul
two months later
new life began
to form
if you were born
your sister
would never
have been known
you had a purpose
gave them a blessing
she runs around
with her toy dragon
every day
