Even the thought
that you just might
exist
sent us into raptures.
We loved
even the idea of you
and when you
manifested yourself
as a faint blue line
on the home pregnancy test
it was...as if
your spirit moved amongst us.
Knickers ‘round ankles
hopping with excitement
your Mum weed
again & again
to make sure
that you
were you
(our dream come true)
spirit taking on
Existence
dressing itself
in the clothes of flesh
a heartbeat trapped
between here & Heaven
See?
Even as a faint blue line
we loved you.
