nobody said it was easy


The gentle rocking of a heavy metal coffin rocks her to sleep Instead of the pleasant beat of her child’s heart. Cries can be heard even miles away Images of laughter do not suffice for the aching heart. Holidays pass, birthdays gone just waiting for the fateful day when the rocking coffin docks and the mother is once again reunited with child.
