Wills

[Tiger the Lion]

Thanks for your read and comments Janine.

Hi Tiger The Lion,
This poem is an emotional poem.


Wills
 
It wasn't you that flopped out dead
on the Godless sheets 
of a hospital bed
when your mother miscarried.
 
But you know you were baptized
by another girl's name.                           




I'm puzzled at Godless sheets... I imagined the scene of a miscarriage to be an occasion for a crisis of faith 
and why it is titled Wills... this was intended to refer to God's will, a mother's will, and a child's will - and the varying weight they carry - I may have missed the mark. 
have a blessed new day
janine
