TakenTaken from my arms before I got to smell you Taken from my eyes before I got to explore you for birthmarks, dimples or freckles
Your blue eyes are certain, though never seen by me Your blue eyes are certain, though they never saw me
Taken
Taken from my life without feeling your breath Taken from my womb without hearing your cry seeing your smile or knowing your suckle
I see your perfect face, still and always sleeping I see your perfect face, it keeps me from sleeping
Taken
Taken from the world without knowing sunlight, music or your mother’s touch
Taken from your parents love- lost and looking for a place to put all that was saved up for you
Love, Mama
