Heaven Couldn't Wait For You
Updated: Feb 29, 2020
I wrote this piece on October 12 2019. This month of February, I couldn't bring myself to blog as i was emotionally dealing with what should have been my daughters birth month. Her due date was February 14 , 2020 and its been a tough month for me overall. I will resume blogging next month .
But while we wait, i wanted to add a piece to my Poetry side of things and this is what i chose.

And just like that , in a matter of three hours and a couple of minutes. I am a mother and then I am not?
And just like that , my baby girl is born and is dead?
I remember laying on the table as they handed you to me
Weirdly,
Heaven couldn't wait for you started to play in my head.
You took a deep breath and mine stopped.
in that very moment i wanted to stop breathing so you could breath for life.
Heaven couldn't wait for you
My little jungle gym
Oh how i miss your little kicks.
How you calmed down when i sang.
how you loved you dada's voice and cooking
Heaven couldn't wait for you
My sweet little Ella
Your eyes never did open
But you brought so much joy to us
your dads nose, fingers and eye brows and legs
your moms head shape
But everything was all you.
Heaven couldn't wait for you
As i kiss you goodbye
Tell God to give mom and dad the strength to keep on
To keep counting on him and be assured that you are fine
Oh my beautiful daughter
My little fighter
3 hours you breathed
Daddy held you
Mommy held you
The world , cruel at your arrival
But heaven couldnt wait for you
