I carry you softly
gently tucked within the folds
of my memory
each tiny moment
of joyfulness
protected with love
occasionally I visit
playing scenes of joy
through mind's eye
cherishing as I smile
reliving each tiny moment
a smile
for the joy
a tear
for the passing
grateful
for the chance

Happy sad
How happy and sad is this. Our loved ones live on in our precious memories. -
It sounds like you're remembering your baby, it's very touching, I feel it's good enough to be published.
