It Didn't Hurt
A day of shopping with a friend
Peaceful and happy,
the babies don't upset me.
We walk through sleepwear
and my eye catches a sign;
"Nursing Nightgown Sale".
I used to own two.
I put my hand to my breasts,
surprised at the sudden, sharp pain.
My friend, having lost a baby too,
noticed and understood.
I walked away with a little smile;
I still remember.
Healing is beginning -
rather than being upset or dismayed,
worrying if I was going crazy -
it was a nice feeling to have - ... to remember...
