Sayde


Sayde you made me a better person You helped me decide what to do With my fragile life I turned on the light And saw you laying there You were cold and Not shivering You laid there in perfect silence Looking up at the ceiling With your imperfect eyes I looked at you and I was afraid for what I had to do To you I put on my gear Didn’t smile from ear to ear I held you Sayde And somehow knew My life would not be the same I was terrified As I looked at you I grabbed the knife And made the decision To make a y incision How fragile you were The cutest stillborn baby pig You liked me too Because you had a smile on your face You knew you were in good hands In the loud Biology class Of me Helping me decide what I want to be Majoring in nursing was just for me Thank you Sayde for showing me What I am supposed to be
