I feel the angst of your beautiful soul in this poem. As a mother we cradle life in our womb. It is unfathomable to loose a baby so soon. I think this is a courageous write. So many feel this pain without tools to express which you have. I love the perspective and title as well. Hugs Best wishes in the contest!
