Do You Want To Hold Her??? ~ Mikayla ~ "Do you want to hold her?" Keeps ringing in my ear... "Do you want to hold her?" Are words I thought I'd never fear... "Do you want to hold her?" Are the first word's I heard them say... "Of course I want to hold her, I brought her in the world today" Happily I smiled and held her close to me... Proudly I kissed her head and whispered "With me, you will always be." "Do you want to hold her?" They asked again today... "Do you want to hold her, even though she passed away..." But there I stood in the door, not sure of what to say... There I stood in the door, watching her as she lay... Of course I want to hold her, she's my little girl. I'm the one that brought her, into this little world. But my body wouldn't move, I just stood there in the door. Watching her little body, as my tears continued to pour. Slowly I walked closer, and sat right by her side... "Yes I want to hold her." I mumbled as I cried. Gently they placed her in my arms, as I covered her in kisses... Whispering very quietly, all my prayers and wishes... What only seemed like a minute, was actually 4 or 5... There I sat holding her, wishing she were alive... Finally they took her, with sadness in their eyes... Ignoring all my helpless pleas and my cries... Now the words have new meaning, they will never be the same... Now I cannot hold her, and there is no one really to blame... If only I knew then, what I know today... I would have held her closely all through the night and day... NOW... "Do you want to hold her?" No one, will ever say...
