Tears To The Child I Lost Poem by Katlego Rasegwete

Who knows? Nobody knows?
Maybe! ! ! Maybe not! ! !
Only tears, flushed dreams and hopes are daily dessert

Maybe
You were going to grow old to be the world leader or
Maybe not……
Maybe you were going to be of high importance like oxygen to the world or maybe not

Who knows?
He knows, this why left me unanswered
Crippled my hopes of being a father
Tied my system not to let go of this pain

Nobody knows! ! !
How you were going to look like
This why you are an angel ghost with lots of imaginary appearance to me and the world
Nobody knows
How you were going to sound like?
Maybe like a morning bird singing or maybe not

Only tombstone of your existence in my heart that I am left with
Only words of 'you are going to be a father' tattooed in my mind as a proof

They say 'children are a blessing'
Then why take away my blessing
Saddens my days and sentences me in a jail of regret?

Innocent soul, sinless soul, beautiful soul
All this positive description a person can impregnate in mind about a soul taken away without
Any wrong doings
It was my child my one and only

These are my words representing my tears to the child I lost
Tears evoking me of my child
Tears honoring my evaporated gift
Tears for my child tears for my pain
