So you know
By sallyj

It was a week before I saw my son after he was born

 

 

They took you from me that dark night

And I was left to fight my fight.

Tight wrapped in blue, no sound you'd made.

I feel it still, like time replayed.

 

 

And I was left to fight my fight.

In tunnel black I scorned the light,

And clawed through mists of blood red pain,

A handhold on my life to gain.

 

 

Tight wrapped in blue, no sound you'd made,

Eight days, eight nights, how hard I prayed

To live, to hold you, know your scent,

Just once, and I would be content.

 

 

I feel it still, like time replayed

The sting of it will never fade,

Fearing that I could be torn

From my child, my newly born.

Getting this down......It's a raw and distressint thing for a mother to have to go through, you have captured the anguish well. 
 
I have been there, both with my daughter and my grandson.

fantastic. 
 
I feel really out of place here because the other reviewers seem to have the benefit of experience, and I've not even come close, but this hit me. It was so well done 
 
so, well done :)
