Kid's Corner... and Safe Arrivals

Kids Corner

To My Stillborn Sister

By Nicholas Gordon

How do you love a person
Who never got to be
Or try again to see a face
You never got to see?

How do you mourn the death of one
Who never got to live
When there’s nothing to feel good about
And nothing to forgive?

I love you, little sister
You’re a person of the wind
Free to be the memory
Of all that might have been

I love you, little sister
My companion of the night
Wandering through my lonely hours,
Beautiful and bright

What does it mean to die before
You ever can be born
To live the lovely night of life
And never see the dawn?

Ah! My little sister
You lived like anyone!
Life’s a burst of joy and pain
And then, like yours, it’s done

I love you, little sister
Just as if you’d lived for years
No more, no less, I think of you
The angel of my tears...



“Mommy,
did you know that the angels brush Samantha’s hair for you?”
