9 months

9 months

Time
So relentless and cruel
Keeps going on
Unbelievable fast
Incredible slow
The same nine months that created your life
that we used to mark your first tooth, crawl and roll
Now mark the amount of time since you’ve been gone
And these same months
that have completed the glory of spring, turned into the fun of summer, the beauty of fall and celebration of the holidays
are the same months that for us were devastating, empty, lonely and anguished
Just a preview of the new mark of time
