they say time heals all wounds that there is healing in losing that there is more love even after you’re gone to never come back.
how is it possible to love someone you never even get to see how is it possible to miss someone you never even get to hold?
but i had you the first sign of life i had you the first time you breathe i had you the first time you made me smile i had you the first time you gave me hope.
i had you in every beat of my heart i was meant to love you forever and always i had you in every dream in the making i was meant to make your dreams come true
how i wish i could hold you in my arms how i wish i could kiss you eagerly always how i wish that i could hum you a loving melody each day.
i could only wish, i could only hope you were gone before i could even breathe life to you my dear it should have been anytime from today.
you would have been an August baby we would have enjoyed the splashing mid August rain water; but you’re gone gone even before there was August.

This brings the tears to my eyes.
An intense, lasting pain many have felt in their heart, mind, and soul. I know that the Dads feel it, too.
(((HUGS))) ❤️
you communicate the hurt so powerfully, so sadly, yet still I cannot imagine the depth of such a loss. and I expect that really is the point of your poem. profound loss only those directly impacted can understand.
