To my baby nephew nathaniel

9 is the months we thought we had to wait
6 is the number of months it took for u to grow
3 is the number of months u were premiture
and 2 was the number of months it took u to grow ur tiny lungs
4 is the number of months it took until we culd take u home
2 was the number of months we had with u alone
2 was the number of hours i cried
10 was the number of minutes i held u once u died
2 was the number of weeks it took for them to find out wat happend
and 8 was the number of hours we celebrated ur death
7 was the number of poems i rote u
only 3 of them were burnt
3 is the number of yrs uve been gone and 3 is also how old ur twin brother is
9 is the number of months since ive seen his face
356 is the number of days u float thru my mind is only for a minute
4 is the number of times i mumble ur name
430 is the number some people may think ur worth but i think ur worth alot more
if god dint think u were special enough to take he wuldnt have taken u so spread ur special wings and no that i love u and miss u and always will.... my baby nephew nathaniel

    How heartbreaking. You actually got me to tear up and that is a first for me when reading poetry. Great write. The flow was good and it was definitely emotion filled. I also liked the style you used. Keep up the great writing.
