Elegy to Poppy

Posted on November 9, 2019November 9, 2019 by Rosie Lewis

The blue line brought you to life

Still too early to feel you move

My second child – growing family

I was ready to hold you close

Eager plans, shopping in my mind

Too soon, but can’t help to tell all

Easy grin, hands over my womb

Maybe another little girl

Friday a redness came awash

I was scared, doctors put me off

I stayed with my mother – hoping

Praying that red would dissipate

Too soon, too fast, I held you once

Not yet a form to stroke or kiss

God had a plan, instead rainbows

Other babies just as loved – Poppy
