Not Meant for this World

We wanted to have two kids,

That was our plan, our dream.

Just two, a good even number,

One boy, one girl, one of each.

We set to planning when we would start.

“It should take less than a year,” they said.

“We won’t have a problem,” we said.

One year turned into three,

Eventually became four, then six.

Now seven years of waiting and trying,

Praying and hoping, that one day,

Our love would bring a baby into this world.

We waited for you both, and those days did come.

But you both weren’t meant for this world.

So tonight we’ll light a candle,

Remembering your short time with us,

Honouring your place in our hearts,

Until we see you once again.
