New Death


Standing on the cold hard wintery ground she stared unbelieving at the tiny casket. Her fingers curled around a tiny rose as tears started to slip slowly down her cheeks. What a short life, to be taken so quickly back home. Then all in the same day she drives along a lonely road, thoughtful and sad, to the place of death and birth.
She gazes quietly into the new baby's eyes holding back tears of joy. Where one young life is taken another is given.

  1. Yes, I know it's sad... :( It was well-written, though. What do you mean it's true?

  2. a baby in my ward died on pretty much the same day ryan and laura's baby was born. Annie and Nana went to their baby's funeral and then the hospital to see ryan and laura's new baby. hence it being true.
