The sun broke on a winter day

With the sorrow of a mourning mother

With the death of her infant on a bale of hay

She and her brother wept to each other


In the night she heard a cry of sadness

She awoke to the ghost of her baby boy

She stood there thinking it was madness

She started to weep and say “why my little baby boy”

I made this poem when I was in eighth grade in my encore class a couple months ago.
