for Zoe
I could not let you see and so I did not cry
when you slipped a youthful hand into mine,
its mate that so firmly gripped your mother's--
and I saw your tiny body
suspended in the gap between parting galaxies,
straining to pull the universe together again.

Gosh this is so heartbreaking. It is so hard for children to understand isn't it. A very poignant write David.
Thank-you, Janice.
