The Memoir Of Ms. Butterfly

To the child I never got to hold—

Too many children.

No face. No name.

Just a simple heartbeat.

I want you to know that I’m working hard on the promise.

The one I made to you as you were leaving me.

I told you that your heartbeat would push me through anything.

Everything.

And it has.

That heartbeat gave me the strength to create.

To go on.

To become.

I want you so badly.

But I’m learning to believe that maybe God needed you more than I did.

Even though you’re not here with me,

You are with me.

You walk in trail behind me.

Every step I take,

You echo.

That’s why I’m able to do the things I do.

Because of you.
