"You can't have a child"
He says.
I cry for hours.
How could this be?
That's all I wanted.
A son,
Or daughter.
Now,
I will never have,
Anyone to spread,
My name.
My husband is,
Dying of old age.
We have no children,
Nothing to bring joy.
Why must this be?
I thought,
I had more time.
Looks like,
In the end.
I will always just be,
Childless.
Author notes
My mother... even if she does not believe, can not have children anymore... and when she tries... it's always a miscarige... so I understand this feeling oh so well... I hope you all enjoy this poem.
