Times
By Kellie Henningsen



The first time I looked into your eyes
The first time I watched your chest rise and fall
The first time they took you away from me
The first time I couldn’t breathe
The first time…

The times I held you and looked deep into your blue eyes
The times I sat by your bed or changed your diapers
The times I prayed for you
The times I cried
The times…

The last time I looked into your eyes and watched you blink
The last time I felt you breathe
The last time I told you I loved you
The last time they took you away from me
The last time…

The next time our eyes will meet with joy
The next time I will glory in your health
The next time I will thank God again for saving you
The next time I will hold you forever
And the next time, no one will take you away from me
The next time…
