After many years we were told
We would have a baby
To love and to hold.
Emotions dancing above the clouds
The miracle of birth
Finally ours

a swollen belly and love filled hands
a family making baby plans
a little life so tiny and yet so bold
dad wonders what baby will be
when grown and old. .

your room is a desert
and I silently weep
You left us to early
the pain runs deep.
I close my eyes and utter a prayer
All I want is my little one near

I rub my belly and your not there
I create a river
Started with a single tear
I feel so alone now that you’re gone
they say in time I will move on.

Coming to terms
Little love had to part
Now only to be held within my heart
I pray for heaven to send me a daughter or son
I have no preference for either one
Please send one that is healthy
to love and to hold
A baby that can grow and live to be old

love, loss, and, longing

I think you need to try to match all the colours together, and add a few more shadows for the heart, the knife and the baby. Good luck! Reply »

while this is a very emotional piece... You could make the message even clearer if you changed the chair into a rocking chair and made the knife less commercial looking,, (a dagger would be more emotional then a serrated steak knife and a rocker would connect the baby with the rocking heart.. but this is your vision.. so TAKE THIS ONLY AS A SUGGESTION... if this is the vision you wanted.. then by all means stick with it.. Just trying to help and god bless

EDIT: Sorry.. didn't look close enough to the high res.. but the DAGGER is MUCH better... once again.. god bless Reply »

thank you everyone for taking the time to comment. Eladine.. the colour under the chair is suppose to the the river of tears... hence the colour difference... thanks for the feedback. Reply »
