Amaranthine

Days were brighter,
Decisions simpler,
Struggles much lighter,
And every step made easier.

Your company brought me joy,
I never once felt lonely.
My biggest fears escaped me,
And I hadn't even met you.

Time went by so fast,
All I had were plans.
From beginning to the end,
I thought it in advance.
I wouldn't have imagined,
That God had other plans.

Departure, left me speechless
And much inside I held
My tears would not stop rolling
But I needed to stay bold

Everyone around intends to show support
But all I ever wanted, was for you to be born.
They say “I am sorry,”
They say “you’ll be alright,”
But they didn't get to feel you moving from inside.

You are not forgotten,
Your memory will always live
And to this very moment
Your impact in my life persists.
