Miscarriage Not Forgotten (poem)

Miscarriage Not Forgotten

It's exactly 40 years ago
I still remember
Being on holidays
Burnt out from teaching
When I lost you

A most wanted baby

I stood on the windy west coast
That pounded through my body
As you once had

Noone could see my tears
Or hear your heartbeat
As I flushed you silently away

Four decades have evaporated
I have two bright beautiful daughters
But you are still
Gone

Not forgotten

- Alison
