Sudden Infant Death Syndrome


Your heart,

beat beat beat beat,

was alive.

Their love,

beat beat beat,

thrived.

You were,

beat beat,

number one.

But then,

beat,

you were gone.

 

My heart,

beat,

came alive.

New love,

beat beat,

began to thrive.

I may be,

beat beat beat,

child two.

But I will forever,

beat beat beat beat,

live through you.
