Forever Held

In my body she bloomed
As she grew
I carried her life within
My love expanded -
More and more and more
I cradled her
But for a precious moment in time
Though she left, my sweet child
She remains forever held
In heart and memory

I will hold my daughters, Grace & Lily, who left before they really came, forever in my heart.  This week, a number of years after each one left this life, I had a memorial ceremony to say good-bye and finally let them go.  It was beautiful and sweet and filled with love and gratitude.

One day, soul to soul, may we recognize each other once again, sweet ones.
Until then I will love you.  That is enough.
