Rabbit, My Rabbit
Wonderland poetry challenge: Day 21
You were so small,
But your love was so big.
Quiet, soft, the best rabbit
You could ever be.
🐇
When you left, it was too soon.
I still look for you, talk to you,
I check your empty bed, your feeding tunnel,
Are you still there? Sometimes I feel you are.
🐇
Your ashes sit near me now,
Always, as you were once, always with me.
One day, when it’s my turn to rest,
I want to be with you again.
🐇
Let them place me with you, my last will,
My ashes mixed with your ashes,
So we can be together, forever,
Where love doesn’t end.
🐇

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
