A mother's unspeakable loss


Rubi Esperanza Rios


by Celia Lupercio

my Rubi my jewel
my daughter my heart
my hope to move forward
the creation to this unconditional love

i miss you i miss you

as you are not
in my arms nor in your crib
not eating dinner nor playing with your sister
not at the park or with your tias
not here not now

but gone

i will love you until forever
and treasure ever moment that we had together
i will get my strength from up above cause you're with Jesus and in his arms

i miss you my baby
my Rubi jewel

but i will meet you and you will lead me
just like in the dance you saw us perform
the night before you went to heaven
oh how i miss

you

my baby
