Her Earthly Nursery

She has a white wooden crib.it has a lid.
Her lamp, there is none, it's dark and cold.
Surrounded by cement, it's 6 feet under.
Covered by dirt, that's filthy.
Decorated with roses, that die.
Planted a tree it died.
A photo of her, it's weathered.
Nothing about this Nursery is right, it's all wrong.

  1. Hi there. I found your blog on faces of loss, faces of hope. I am so sorry for your loss. Esther Grace is such a lovely and timeless name!

    This poem is so beautiful. It is amazing that you are making Molly Bears. I am going to put in my order this month. I just wish I could hold it in my arms right now.

    I'd love to have you follow along on my blog as well: www.roseandherlily.blogspot.com
