Augustus

From the moment
We knew
That you were here
This family of three
Became four

We imagined
Who you’d be
Your mother
Cheered at the screen
When she saw
Your heartbeat
Ever so faintly

She hugged the nurse

If only we could have known
You just a little while longer
We would have
Sang to you
We would have
Named you
Something
Beautiful
Meaningful
Powerful
