My Little Secret

I kept a little secret,

I kept it in my heart,

Of a tiny baby not yet born,

Of a tiny baby not yet lived,

My missed secret.

I keep my little secret,

Safe in my heart,

And I go to it,

To remember what might have been.

To remember what could have come.

I keep this little secret,

Nestled in my heart,

And I return,

To remember all that might be forgotten.

My little secret,

Is buried in the woods,

Among the squirrels and the birds and bees.

Just for me to know.

My little secret,

Is most nights,

I hold you in my arms,

I dream,

In blissful ignorant happiness.

My little secret,

Is my arms are longing,

Aching,

With the weight of emptiness,

Of my baby.

And I share my little secret with no one.

My little secret is my own,

To keep,

And never share,

With this cruel world.
