Options

This poem is written for the letter O in my a to z of babyloss.

Where do we go from here?
What are options for a family?
Do we stop or keep on trying?
What route will keep our sanity?

Some days another pregnancy
Seems to be the natural choice
Other days I just don't have
The energy, positivity or poise

I'm just too scared of what might be
Can't bear to take the risk
But if we never try again
There's no chance of getting the gift

Adoption is another route
That we might choose to follow
But are we ready to go for that?
Too many options to swallow

Eventually we took the plunge
We tried again once more
Thank you God for giving us strength
She makes us happy to our core.
