Rock a Bye Baby

Zena Williams 2009 (Calgary)



What’s my worst fear you ask?
A mother loosing their baby
Their is no other compared to your first born child.
I want to walk them down the isle,
But what if there still born
I have to mourn a child barely even there.
That would tear me apart.
But what if I have a miscarriage
No age can take that pain.
My biggest fear
Hopefully nowhere near.
hearing that in my ear I could never take that absence.
I would just miss my baby’s essence
It’s hard to live in a world without their existence.
