Just Those Few Months

I am writting this in honour of my sister who lost a her first born and She so eagerly longed for.

Dear Sis, I feel the pain with you. 

For those few Months --
I had you to myself
And that seems too short a time

to be changed so profoundly.

In those few Months --
I came to know you
and to love you.
You came to trust me with your life.
Oh, what a life I had planned for you!


Just those few Months --
When I lost you.
I lost a lifetime of hopes,
plans, dreams, and aspirations..
A slice of my future simply vanished overnight.

Just those few Months --
It wasn't enough time to convince others
how special and important you were.
How odd, a truly unique person has recently died
and no one is mourning the passing.

Just a mere few Months --
And no "normal" person would cry all night
over a tiny, unfinshed baby,
or get depressed and withdrawn day after endless day.
No one would, so why am I?

You were just those few Months  my little one
you darted in and out of my life too quickly.
But it seems that's all the time you needed
to make my life so much richer
and give me a small glimpse of eternity.
