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.
