Although, precious one, you were taken from me
a part of my womb you will always be.
I know all the angels are caring for you
and you'll always be a part of the life I pursue.
The past can't be changed and the future's a gift
if I live it with hatred I know I won't shift.
For myself and my son I will make us both proud
for the past would surely be a strangling shroud.
When all hope seems gone the next corner is there
with challenges to conquer and people to share.
Although I have fear, myself I won't betray
for my life has much meaning that I need to portray.
So it's pick up those challenges, make it all fit
and search for new happiness, I'm not one to quit,
let the love infiltrate and the hate seep away
as a new life begins in sweet, colourful sway.
Whatever I do I'll always be at my best
the sun will smile down and my spirit be blessed.
Eventually peace I will find and a love that is true
I need to live life and each dream to pursue.
I'll walk through tall cornfields and dance life complete
the journey's not over and my heart still beats.
It beats with a pulse that will find happiness
and in all that I do I will be a success.

this speaks to me on so many levels right now, your rhyme and rhythm perfect.It just has that 'it' factor a poem should have, the emotions flood from you and I enjoyed this from start to finish. I also liked the positive feel from your words, even though it was such an horrific event shed gone through. speaks wonders for the human spirit thank-you for entering good luck in my contest

Quiet,
and very meaningful. It invokes sorrow and would be considered sad, if not for the hope seen between the words you've chosen. Good words here poet.
