Rhonda's Poem for Casey James

Rhonda and I met at MISS shortly after Imogen died.
This beautiful poem was written in memory
of Casey James, Rhonda's little boy
who was born prematurely.
You can visit Casey's website at: In Memory of Casey James
Thank you, Rhonda.

One's Missing

We're a family of three
that should have been four
But One's Missing

I have cried all my tears
and paced tracks in the floor
There's One Missing

And try as I may and as much as I pray
all my heart seems to say Is One's Missing…
One that my arms will never know
One who had only begun to show
One given to me and then taken away
The child that I lost before Mother's Day
One's Missing…

The days bleed together like rivers of red
I have taken refuge in prescriptions and bed
Thinking maybe with this pillow over my head
That it's harder to notice
One's Missing.

Or maybe I'll wake up - it's all been a dream
That the pain and the doctors were not what they seemed
Oh who am I kidding with this fantasy…
One's Missing

The sound is much louder alone in the dark
The ominous sound of the beat of my heart
It sounds like an echo of hopes that have died
It sounds like it's saying
One's Missing
One's Missing
One's Missing
