a part of me is now gone
and i dont know what went wrong
my child, my son
gone from my womb
born too soon
never get to hear you cry
never thought that you would die
hoped and dreamed for you to come
to hold you in my arms
you never have to feel pain
sadness will never fall upon you
you are forever in God’s glory
pure and perfect
my pain was horrendous
my heart ripped in two
losing you, i lost my mind
i did not know what to do
loneliness, emptiness, sadness, fear
i never thought i’d lose someone to whom i hold so dear
i still feel pain that no one can see
my only comfort and peace come from the Lord
He sheds light upon the darkness
He gives me hope, peace and comfort
Losing you happened for a reason
to everything there is a season.
Love, Mommy
I wrote this poem after I had a miscarriage at 13 weeks gestation, I wrote it for my sweet son in Heaven. Now I had another late miscarriage at 19 weeks and this poem applies to that son as well.
