A barren womb, a heart so hollow.
Losing a child after many years of waiting

A barren womb, a heart so hollow,
A longing so deep, a sorrow to follow,
The taste of tears, the sound of silence,
The smell of emptiness, a painful defiance.
But a spark ignites, a tiny flame,
A life growing, a new hope to claim,
The sight of a bump, a feeling so right,
The touch of a hand, a love taking flight.
But the hope is fleeting, the pain so real,
The sound of a heartbreak, a loss to deal,
The touch of emptiness, the smell of despair,
The sight of a lifeless body, a pain to bear.
One child lost, then another and another,
The taste of bitterness, a life to smother,
The sound of a cry, a mother's lament,
The touch of a grief, a heart's torment.
But still she stands, her spirit so strong,
The taste of resilience, a life so long,
The sound of a heart beating, a hope that endures,
The touch of a faith, a love that ensures.
For in her heart, a love still burns,
A taste of motherhood, a hope that returns,
The smell of a future, a promise to keep,
The sight of a legacy, a love so deep.
