I will not be here or able to see my daughter born or even her first 6-8 months of life here on this planet we call earth. Part of me wishes the Lord would no longer delay His coming and prevent me from enduring this hardship, yet i know that He will give me strength to prevail regardless.
My eyes right now are as full of tears as the day she left; while the agonizing pain i have held within causes my heart to bleed for a renewal of spirit and security in the [one whom i treasure most. (aka Jesus)]
So my dear friends and beloved one's i will miss you while i am gone but duty calls and when i am called i must follow and obey.
i thank the Lord will all that i am for without a Friend like Jesus i wonder how anyone survives such tragedy.
...to my Friends...

a poem: to the unborn daughter of SSM
I will not be there to look into your eyes,
To hear you laugh or watch you cry,
I will miss your firsts and seconds but never your last,
I hope you will grow and forgive me for the past,
If it were up to me i would still be there,
No one would have left and love would still care,
My hearts desires to know you, to see you and to hold your hand,
Maybe when you are older you'll see the heart of a broken man,
Is not a father who did not care but loved you with his all,
Who wanted to watch your first steps and and your first fall,
Who did all he could do to be his best,
I love you my daughter and this i must confess,
I will pray for you to know the Lord as i do,
May He bless you with His love that is pure and true,
Love Always
AT3 Steven Troy Burrows II
