Roller Coaster Year in Rhyme

At the start of the year,

A new job – a fresh start.

A month later, Surprise!

In the womb, a small heart.


Spring rolls on in

And Hannah’s no longer 1.

An ultrasound shows

We’ll have double the fun.

As summer moves in,

The belly gets round.

Then our car gets stolen,

But, don’t fret. It was found.


June and July, spent mostly

In hospital beds

Or at home on bed rest

(At times, loopy on meds).


Joy came in July

On the 19th (Wednesday).

First Eric and then Kyle

Came out early to play.


But on Saturday night,

After only three days,

Eric left us for Heaven

With a smile on his face.

Now he watches from Heaven,

No longer in danger,

Held by the Son

Who was born in a manger.


And Kyle lives on,

Though still fragile and small

But a champion fighter,

Surviving it all.
