Mommy Poem by Victoria Horn

Mommy you'll never get to see me color
Or run and play
You won't get to celebrate
My first birthday
You won't be able to watch me grow
Or throw sleepovers
Never knowing what it was like
To tuck me in the covers
I would have had a great smile
That I would show you all the time
But I'll never get to hear you say
I'm so proud of that child of mine
Mommy I just want you to know
That I'm safe up here
God told me the whole story
It's perfectly clear
I still love you though mommy
It hurts to see you cry
But since I know you loved me
I'll never ask why.
