The Cutest Tongue In The Universe

So tiny and blue,
ashen and pale,
head studded with dark hair,
alien fingers,
low set ears,
but then the tongue -
little pink tongue
peeked out of the little mouth,
so sweet and silly,
the little baby
born to tragedy.
We wish you had been healthy,
we wish you had lived,
nine days of waiting for death,
before your heart gave way.
She prayed for you, child,
and you were desperately wanted,
but now you reside,
in the saddest part of a cemetery.
We'll carry on with life,
with a bit of sad memory,
hoping that your grandmother
takes care of you
into infinity.
