I felt God’s arms around me, yet mine were barren.
Was it all a dream?
Or was I in shock?
My heart was racing.
No words. No prayers.
Shaking.
But, no tears.
Numb, Absolutely, numb.
Wet nursing pads, but no suckling babe.
No yummy smells.
Just little confused eyes, following mine.
Eyes, I could barely see, or care for.
Clouded vision.
Tired.
Brain fog.
The page turned, before read.
No sequel.
Barely an introduction.
Life was here, then vanished.
Was it all just a dream?
No, it was real.
Soft as an angel’s kiss.
Sweet as the ripest fruit.
Fleeting life.
I got to know her.
Blessed.
I loved knowing her.
Thankful.
16 years later, the ache remains.
Happy Valentines Day, in Heaven
