David John Lukach Was My Boy Poem by Nancy Hamann

When I was pregnant with you, I wondered then – how did I let this happen again?
March 10,1988 is the day that you came, with your ten little fingers, ten little toes and that cute little nose.
I laughed and cried when I saw your face because I saw God’s grace.
You were with me for only a little while but oh, how you made me smile.
Then one day, you were taken away.
I fell on my knees and screamed - why did this happen to me?
Even though I had my doubts, I loved you with all my heart.
The only thing that stays with me is the memory of you in your swing.
While I did the dishes, you sang and smiled when I told you how happy I was that you were mine.
June 30,1988 is the day that will always be burned in my brain. It was the day that you had to go away.
God needed you more than me but it doesn’t mean that I don’t miss you more now than I did back then.
David John Lukach was my boy and he brought me so much joy.
