Tiny, soft, mostly pink but some tannish white

Perfectly trimmed fingernails painted with blue line drawings.

Drawing in her little coloring book while watching her favorite show

Her smile just as white as snow

Her teeth just as bright as the sun

Her eyes big like bowling balls

Yet as brown as mud

She raises her hand to ask for a snack.

She’s so sweet and innocent you can’t help but say yes

Then

You stop

You remember this is only a dream

You were so close to having everything you ever wanted

You had your perfect little family

You were just getting used to having her around

Then one morning she never wakes up

You’ve tried to have another

Unsuccessful

Lost, alone

She will never be forgotten

She will always be missed.
