Last Breath

Firsts

I won't get to hear your first cries as you come into the world
I won't feel your small hand wrap around my finger
I won't be waking up late at night to rock you back to sleep
I won't see you crawl or take your first steps
I won't hear your first words and I'll always wonder what they would have been
My heart is breaking for someone I've only seen briefly on a screen
I wish things were different, that this didn't happen
But things don't always work out how you want
