I Remember, And Hope

I remember our years of struggle,
I remember feeling alone,
I remember waking up at midnight, two and three,
I remember looking at my phone,
All those nights of trying,
Tracking every little thing,
Temperature drops and elevation,
Body changes, month dates, reserving hours,
Although we lost many babies,
They are forever in our hearts,
Always near and dear to us,
Never will they part,
And though we got our rainbow,
We hear that aching word,
I N F E R T I L I T Y is real,
One in eight will struggle still,
So here we are longing,
Hopeful for the future, for everyone, for ours,
Happiness is out there,
It is up to us, marching forward,
Keeping the hope and awareness alive.
