I'm Sorry Poem by Kwenadi Gaaje

I know
you were expecting Me
for some reason you were so excited in being a mother....
I'd hear your hands when you touch my womb
reciting poems of love and that of joy for me..
Not knowing I wasn't here to stay
my journey got dispatched long before I even began to grow in you...

I know
I was just a tiny seed
and you longed for me to grow
to become a fruit of your womb
You couldn't wait to have me
to hold and to hug me for the very first time..
Mommy know i also wanted you to see me
To hold and to have me
to give me motherly love
but.... like a flow of water in the ocean.... you lost me...

You had already made plans for me.. I know
you had already gave Me a name
know I will carry it even in my absence..
I will forever be a part of you
For you are my mom
And I... I am your rainbow soul...
A product of your own womb..
I'm sorry for I wasn't here to stay
I was just a seed and I wasn't going to live for long
I did not choose to go
but I had to go long before you could conceive and hold me for the first time...

Mommy
know I couldn't possibly hurt you
I know you longed to be a mother
but I... I wasn't ready for the world..
Know one day
you will carry a seed
and have a have a chance to to do all that you planned to do for me...
you will soon be a mother
and maybe she'll close a gap I left open
maybe she'll be better than me
you will have a chance to be with her for as long as you wish for.....
