The Loss of a Dream

Where does your heart go after the loss of a dream?

When dreams change, you change with them…

When they’re taken, what do you do?

Stolen in the darkest of places,

From a place that should’ve provided protection.

My dreams of conception had finally come true.

To end in an instant, no warning in sight,

My dream was gone, stolen before night.

The shattered pieces of my heart around me,

Empty arms and nothing to hold.

Two months have passed,

And still I can’t see.

Where does my heart go after the loss of a dream?

Today's been a tough day for me and I don't really know why..unaware of what has triggered a day of grieving and more healing.  Struggling with the thoughts of the lost dream, the baby I once had growing inside me only to be gone before I ever met him. 

Having had lots of really good days in between, I also struggle with how these sad ones still decide to show up when I least expect them.  Contrary to the sadness that still lurks around, I'm getting better each and every day, trying to figure out how to carry on - healing has begun for the loss of my dream. Praying and praying for strength every day.
