BORN TOO SOON

By Maggie Elliott

ree

She weighed less than a bag of Tate and Lyle

She should’ve stayed inside me another while

They took her away, never having been held

Praying for her, my heart swelled

Same day they told me what I didn’t want to hear

‘Very sorry love, but she’s no longer here.’
