Tiny, soft, mostly pink but some tannish white
Perfectly trimmed fingernails painted with blue line drawings.
Drawing in her little coloring book while watching her favorite show
Her smile just as white as snow
Her teeth just as bright as the sun
Her eyes big like bowling balls
Yet as brown as mud
She raises her hand to ask for a snack.
She’s so sweet and innocent you can’t help but say yes
Then
You stop
You remember this is only a dream
You were so close to having everything you ever wanted
You had your perfect little family
You were just getting used to having her around
Then one morning she never wakes up
You’ve tried to have another
Unsuccessful
Lost, alone
She will never be forgotten
She will always be missed.
