If I could hold you again
for just one moment in time
I would take away that fear you
felt when you screamed
staring out that window
at something we couldn't see
I would not have let them take me away
in that ambulance that day
so that your cried so much
arms stretched to me in longing
If I could have one moment in time
I would tell you I love you so much
I would hold you close in my arms
I would wipe away those tears
you cried that day
If I could go back to them
for just one short moment
I would have insisted they
left you at home and not
taken you away
But I did no have that chance
and I never saw your beautiful face
again
My angel Allen
My precious child
I know you now in spirit
I know you are safe
I know you are loved
But if only I had just one more moment in time.
Author notes
2**You could write about something you want to go back to
The night before I was rushed into Hospital with a threatened miscarriage, My little boy was pointing out of his bedroom window screaming hysterically. He saw something I now guess was an angel.
The following day I was rushed into hospital. That was the last time I saw him alive, screaming arms outstretched for me. I watched him through the ambulance windows my heart breaking.
My husband instead of staying home looking after him, took him to his mother who fed him poison when he asked for a drink. He died a horrible death 100 klms away from me.
If only I had just insisted on my husband staying home with him that day. But no-one told me, they wouldn't even bring him to the hospital to see me. So I have lived my life with no closure as such.
But luckily Allen has been to see me and talked to me through a medium. He gave me messages only I knew as confirmation it was him.
