The rainbow baby

She looked down at the device 
There were two pink lines
Her heart fluttered
As she started imagining
The little baby she'd hold in her hands soon! 

A visit to the doctor 
A cheerful one
There were thoughts exchanged
But the doctor was uncertain 
If this would bear fruit 

She said a silent prayer 
Kept her hopes up
But things took a tragic turn...
Alas ! It was short-lived 
There wasn't a heartbeat , the baby no more!

Her heart felt wrenched
Her insides ached
Her body shriveled 
Her mind wandered 
A lingering mistrust!

Time flew by, 
The past still haunted her 
About the  baby she never held...
Once again, she found herself
With the two pink lines 

Her heart gave a leap
Her mind hopeful of the future 
Days moved on, as did months
Until, at last ....
Her rainbow baby arrived!
