Dear Darrell

We made a decision,
This was our choice;
But we still wish we heard your voice.
Now we're both here,
Writing this letter
With high hopes that you're feeling better.
We hope one day
That we can hear, see and feel
What we hope will someday be real.
A baby's laughter,
Holding a small hand
Doing the best that parents can.
It depresses us
That we will never see
The type of man you'd grow up to be.
We'll never know
Of the heart
We wanted to raise right from the start.
So, here we are
Parents in grieving
Heaven is what we'll try believing.
Hoping there is
a Higher Power
Taking you in during our darkest hour.
We wish that, someday,
We can finally meet you
And you'll do what we were supposed to.
You'll greet us
Into a new world above,
And introduce us to who we can now only love.
