We may have lost.
Our baby Serafina flys.
Her angel wings strong.
With us-20 weeks.
We held her goodbye.
But to you love,
My dearest beautiful wife,
You are the strength.
You will get through.
You will keep walking.
You’ll soldier through tears.
They’ll never really understand.
But you will hurt.
You will hurt a lot.
But I know this:
You can and will–
Overcome.
