A Poem for My Savannah Grace

For my precious baby girl-
Savannah Grace Keenum born still 7/2/02

untitled:

I thought I heard you crying lastnight
and I awoke to go see
I went into your room and turned on the light
and then it came back to me

You're no longer with me here
you left me a while ago
it was the worst of all my fears
and I cried wanting to hold you so

Your room is silent and cold
not like a nursery should be
I caressed your little hand's mold
wishing you were here with me

I realize you're never coming home
no matter how hard I prayed
even thought home is where you belong
I will miss not knowing you every day.

I love you always,
mommy
