Pieces

Regrets, resilience and reunion. Mother and daughter.

You fluttered and kicked.
I was confused.
There you were; a new piece of me.


Your heart beat.
Mine beat with yours.
Falling in love; my growing piece of me.


You came into this world.
What was I to do?
Longing for you; my small piece of me.


So helpless and loved,
I let us slip away.
Gone; my missing piece of me.


No one tells you about the darkness.
Biggest mistake of my life.
How could I let you go? Far-off piece of me.


Seasons change; June comes again.
Time ticks; relentless and harsh.
It hurts--you're not here; my piece of me.


Memories hidden,
Dreams put away.
Where can she be? Never-forgotten piece of me.


No filling the hole,
Not the person I could have been.
Broken me--I ache for you; innocent piece of me.


The small piece. The missing piece.
The never-forgotten piece. The innocent piece.
She's one million tiny pieces; she's the one piece.
An empty life, shattered. Lost piece of me.


You found me.
I knew right away.
Precious piece of me.


So beautiful, sweet, and treasured.
You held me and loved me; more than I could ever ask.
You mended me; my miraculous piece of me.


I'll be by your side as long as God gives me time,
So happy to share in your life.
I'm blessed; my piece of me.


Your heart beats. Mine beats with yours.
You can feel me. I can feel you.
Peace at last; Pieces no more.
