To Have and To Lose

A sweet summers sun warmed their happy hearts when their love blossomed to the heavens.

A site to behold when their vows were told in a field of Earth's gift to us.

A day of joyous tears when their little one joined their world.

A wonderous future laid out before the bright family of three.

Then one dark day, the midday train came rolling into the station.

Upon that train was an unwelcome visitor that no one ever wishes to meet.

An empty crib with the ghostly whispers of the child's laughter lingering.

A constant reminder that the unwelcome visitor stole what was most precious in the world.

With nothing to live for depression gained ground to lay heavy in their hearts.

Forever to live with the lose of love and the memory of what once was there.
