On 30 january 2006 I had a stillbirth I
was 37 weeks with a beautiful baby girl.
My angel.
I could relate to these poems when I lost
her so I wanted to share them with all of
your.
Im so deeply sorry about all your losses
noone should have to go through that pain
and sorrow.
You don't know how I feel-
please don't tell me that you do. There's
just one way to know -- have
you lost a child too?
"you'll have another child!"
-- must I hear this each day?
Can I get another mother, too,
if mine should pass away?
Don't say it was "god's will" -- that's
not the god I know.
Would god on purpose break my heart,
then watch as my tears flow?
"aren't you better yet?"
is that what I heard you say?
No! A part of my heart aches -- i'll
always feel some pain.
You think that silence is kind,
but it hurts me even more.
I want to talk about my child
who has gone through death's door.
Don't say these things to me,
although you do mean well.
They do not take the pain away;
i must go through this hell.
I will get better slow but sure -- and it
helps to have you near.
But a simple "i'm sorry you lost your
child"
is all I need to hear.
I'm going to tell you something I hope
you'll never have to know. I'll tell you
how a heart can break & tears can
constantly flow. I lost my baby girl you
see, an angel in my eyes. God chose to
take her hand one day & led her to the
skies. But please do not forget my child
she was a person too, and forever she will
live inside of me & you. So, please
don't ever tell me that time will heal my
pain, because not even time can bring her
back again. Just tell me she is happy in
that land way up above. She's snuggled
in an angel's wings all wrapped in mommy's
love.
I thought of you and closed my eyes; and
prayed to god today I asked what makes a
mother and I know I heard him say.. A
mother has a baby, this we know is true.
But god can you be a mother, when your
baby's not with you?
Yes you can, he replied with confidence in
his voice I give many women babies, when
they leave is not their choice. Some I
send for a lifetime; and others for a day
and some I send to feel your womb, but
there's no need to stay.
I just don't understand this god, I want
my baby here he took a breath and cleared
his throat; and then I saw a tear. I wish
I could show you, what your child is doing
today if you could see your child smile
with other kids and say "we go to earth to
learn our lessons of love and life and
fear, my mommy loved me oh so much, I got
to come straight here..
I feel so lucky to have a mom, who had so
much love for me I learned my lesson very
quickly, my mommy set me free. I miss my
mommy oh so much but I visit her each day
when she goes to sleep, on her pillow's
where I lay.
I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek; and
whisper in her ear mommy don't be sad
today, i'm your baby and i'm here." so you
see my dear sweet one, your children are
okay your babies are here in my home; and
this is where they'll stay. They'll wait
for you with me, until your lesson is
through and on the day that you come home;
they'll be at the gates for you.
So, now you see what makes a mother, it's
the feeling in your heart it's the love
you had so much of; right from the very
start.
I've loved my child right from the start,
she has taken over my entire heart I went
through the labor and suffered the pain,
for many long hours with nothing to
gain.
I got to hold her, yes that true
but the feeling I had, I wish you all knew
not hearing a cry or have her move at all
seeing all my dreams crash and fall.
I've spent sleepless nights tossing and
turning just to hold her once more my
hearts been yearning I constantly wonder
how she’d turn out to be would she love
to dance like chris or love children like
me?
I wish I could watch her as she learns to
walk hear her voice as she starts to talk
I have a child that I really love so, I am
her mother yet not everyone knows
i've spent so many months feeling her
grow, i've lived through it all and have
nothing to show.
I don't get invited to chat with young
mothers, because I don't have a baby like
all of the others.
I've got some stretch marks that i'd like
to hide, but I don't have a pram with a
baby inside.
I don’t get to show how beautiful she is
all the things mummys do, I have to miss
i don't know how long i'll be feeling like
this, but one thing I know, my baby I
miss.
When mother's day comes it will be very
hard, I won't have any flowers, not even a
card.
And just because she's not here with me, I
still have a daughter I wish I could
see.
But one thing I know and this is for sure,
i'll be her mother forevermore!
I will post more. I have hundreds. Some
comfort but some just show theres others
who feel the same, you are not alone.
