Elexa
by Joan SerratelliBorn too soon
they worried
about you
But the first time
I saw you
I just knew
You would
be ok
you were strong
and beautiful
Kicking and screaming
you would soon
go home
with your parents
(the way it was supposed
to be)
And so
you grew
you learned
how to walk
and talk
and feed yourself
A beautiful little girl
pink,
precious
and smart
I wish
I could
see you
and play
I wish
I was
more a part
of your life
than I am
I love you
Elexa
please realize
that it's miles
that keep us apart
not love
Tell Mommy
to visit
I miss you
so much
Tell Mommy
to give you
all of my love
