What I Miss
My husband wrote this poem for me when I lost our only daughter Hannah on
3/28/97 due to a placenta abruption.

What I Miss
by Steve Crook
Binky, blanky
cute yellow bow
happy, cranky
I'll never know
Patty-cake, tummy ache
sittin' on my knee
lollipop, bunny hop
not meant to be
Band-Aids, braces
a butterfly kiss
making you giggle
is what I miss
Girl Scouts, boyfriends
making the team
prom night, graduation
It's all just a dream
College, career
out on your own
meeting someone special
all of it postponed
Scrapbooks, memories
We'd laugh how time flew
I'd hate to kiss you good night
cause reluctantly I knew....
The day would come
to give you away
how could I know
it would be today
