Song of My Unborn Children

Three souls entered my body,
over three decades
each for their own brief time.

I felt them—deeply, wholly,
in the marrow of my being.
I loved them, and I let them go.

They came in with passion, with fire,
With the mystery of a momentary union.
Not tied to time, or marriage, or a plan.

Love was there. Unspoken, but felt.
Outside of commitment, they came
and found a brief home in me.

I opened, softened, allowed and received
Prayers I never made came through…
Ready or not, they came.

My body a temple,
A sacred vessel,
A place where life knows how to grow.

My unborn children are still with me.
In my heart, in my cells intertwined with my soul.

Soulmates of a different kind.
Not lovers. Not partners.
Eternal companions of spirit and light.

Our love is beyond this world’s understanding.
Beyond mothering. Beyond choice.
Beyond regret.

No one else needs to understand what I know, how my body remembers, my heart imprinted in a realm untouched by grief.

I am holding them still.
Singing them my songs.
Loving them in our own reality.

They were never lost—only transformed.
Their matter terminated from my body,
Their spirits remain with me always.

As my ancestors walk with me, so do they.
These three souls never cried, never breathed, but they loved me from the inside out.

[Chorus / Hook]

You were never gone, only passing through,
Soul of my soul, I remember you.
In the quiet, in the dark, in the breath between—
My unborn children, my eternal dream.
