For the Grieving Parents

For my people who are broken-hearted

            disappointed

            let-down

            betrayed

For my people whose dreams are crushed

            dashed

            trampled upon

            discarded

For my people whose parenthood is short

            fleeting

            gone in the blink of an eye

            not valued

For my people whose desire is to hold their baby

            watch them grow

hear their first words

watch them take their first steps

For my people who hope to meet their children soon
