(Not a lot of people know this, except for a handful of people, but when I was 23, I was with a girl I loved. She got pregnant and we found joy in the fact that we were having a baby. Found out it was going to be a girl, but it destroyed us when she had a miscarriage. We where going to name her Katherine (Katie).

Shattered Dreams
By:Mikaela A. Lopez
Dreams tend to come and go, for dreams have a tendency of never coming true
I once had a dream that was taken away from me, taken away from us
When I first heard the news of her arrival to come, I was in shock of the discovery
The thought scared me at first, but found myself overwhelmed with such blissful emotions
Never thought it could happen to us, a little thing of flesh and blood growing inside her mother’s womb
Waiting for her to be born, just couldn’t wait for the day I could hold her dearly in my arms
To be able to love her with all my heart and soul, giving her the world to embrace to it’s fullest
Watching her take her first step into life, hearing her say her first words towards voicing her mind
Watching her grow from an innocent child in my arms, into a lovely young woman of the world grasping at what life might have to offer, so she may make a difference in this world
It was in my thoughts night and day, in my every waking moment, in my every precious dream, a dream waiting to become a reality
A dream that no long exist, as she was taken from her mother’s womb, taken to a graveyard tomb
A dream that turned into a reality, a reality that turned into a nightmare
A nightmare that will forever haunt me in my sleep, filled with the memories of my shattered dream
