FOURTEEN

FOURTEEN

Squirt:
Warm belly hugs
Guitar music and toddler singing
Teary nights
Loving warm hands
Warm meals and sad smiles
A circle surrounding me, surrounding you
With nothing but love
Three chromosomes
Many anomalies
‘Incompatible’ with life, something learned in disbelief
God how I hope that no one is taught that way any more.
It’s a slow change
A sea change
But I feel nothing but a belly full of love,
Stretched taught
A tiny hand in mine
A tiny heart in mine
A soulmate walking side by side by side
Flying doves
Spicy eggs
Grilled cheese sandwiches
All lovingly made by your dad
Our dear sweet Macy Button,
You are always in our Hearts.
