God's Little Angel {MY Noah Anthony}

Missing image

God's precious little angel

that once belonged to me ,

I carried you for five short weeks,

our time was much too brief.


I think about you often

though its been six long years ago,

tears still fall and leave me wondering

why you had to go.

 

In my mind I've asked the question

were you ever really viable,

a close look at my ultra-sound

proved to be reliable.


A small white "X" marked the spot

on a big black empty space,

I closed my eyes then looked again,

and saw your little face.


Something deep inside of me

tells me you're a boy,

spreading love throughout the heavens

along with peace and joy.


I thought that I would write

and somehow let you know,

your always in my heart

and my love for you still grows.


Knowing your the lucky one

in heaven safe and sound,

gives me rest in this world

where evil's all around.


My little Noah Anthony

please grant this wish today,

watch over and protect

your big sister Hannah Rae.


I know you love her the way I do

she's the treasure of my heart,

my soul just aches for all the things

of which your not a part.


But on that day when Jesus comes

we all will be together,

I'll finally hold you in my arms

tears wiped away forever.


Dedicated to anyone who has suffered a miscarriage

    Hey Toni.. I am very sorry for your loss. Now I realized a truth that I am not the only one. I miscarried when I was 6 months along. The 24 weeks of bond I had with my little angel is something that is more stronger than any other relationships. The baby boy left me alone one fine day showing not any movement inside. Doctors confirmed that he was no more. It happened just a fortnight ago. This poem strengthens my drive. 6 years of pain of loss is so touching. Thanks for sharing.

    Love and regards
    Kiddy

    How Did I Miss This One

    I'm so very sorry about your loss. Gee I can't believe that I missed this one. Please forgive me Toni. My heart is just aching and grieved that this happened to you. What a beautiful poem though. He was real and true and I believe as you. I can't wait when we are in Heaven and we get to meet both of our son's. I'll get to meet yours and you'll get to meet mine. Congradulations on the Trophy's. I just love you.
    Your Friend & Sister In Christ

    I'll be honest, I'm very hesitant to critique this because of the topic and it's obviously something very personal.

    So, I'll keep it short and please don't take this as an attack.

    The problem for me with the poem is that it rhymes. There is nothing inherently wrong with that. Because the subject matter is so heavy, the rhyme distracts. I find myself, as a reader, looking for the next rhyme. It is almost Dr. Suess-ish. I think the piece would be better served by changing the form.

    That is not to say it's not good. I just think it would be stronger and have more of an impact by changing the form.

    Thanks for entering.

    Nawr ~ the last stanza was a little over the top and left all relative feelings to be discarded.

    Thanks for entering.

    Oh...

    My aunt had a miscarriage! This made me terribly sad.
    My friend's sister JUST had one the other night...Now I am even more sad for all this.

    Yes, one day you would be seeing him. ^_^

    I really enjoyed reading it and it was wonderful. This poem was worth my time, even if it made me nearly cry for all those women out there. T.T

    Best of luck, and I hope good wishes to you.

    Ok, I'm gonna cry. Thats so sad. I can only imagine what that feels like. I loved the way you expressed yourself. You were sad because you lost your boy, but you were happy because you knew he was in heaven with God. Thats sad, very sad. GREAT GREAT GREAT JOB!

    Heart breaking

    I know exactly where you are coming from with this piece for 6 reasons. My six little angels all in Heaven. Losing a child is one of the hardest things ever to overcome, losing 6 was a night mare but I know that they are all with me watching over my. This poem is a poignant tribute to your beautiful little boy. Wonderful, tearjerking but so familiar. If you ever wanna chat, drop me a line.

    This is truly beautiful, I have never suffered the tragic moment of a miscarriage, but my son Michael died aged 6 months of congenital heart disease, it's not any easier, and it's been many years now. So I give you a hug and shed with you a tear, for no mother should never have to go through losing a child.... the write is beautiful made me cry... thank you for sharing

    This was so gracefully penned. You I feel certain reached out and placed a warm hand on many shoulders this evening. This was a heartfelt and caring write that seems to have coursed through those I see have already commented. You had a wonderful flow and it carried the reader through with tenderness and love. I am sorry for your loss, Bless you, ~Tia

    Really beautiful write and very well done. I work in an OB/GYN office and see this everyday. All I can say is there is always a reason for these thins when they happen. I lost 3 grand children this way myself. It is terrible and heartbreaking but know they sit at God's hands.

    Amazing write. It flowed smoothly and I can relate with what you went through. I had the same thing happen 3 years ago. I feel the same way about knowing they were a boy. Again, great job. Keep it up!

    Sweet and sad! Very touching! I've only really really known only one person to suffer a miscarriage, but I can imagine how hard it really is. To just loose that part of yourself that you fell in love with in the short time you had her/him inside you.

    This is really beautiful. Sounds like little Anthony is still alive in your heart which is a very good thing. Sometimes God does not give us answers and understanding to why things happend and we have to go on with life accepting situations but going on with life, peace, and joy. I once read of a story of a couple that lost a child and they kept their faith in God and one day the woman got pregnant again and the child she had resembled the one they lost. If God gave Eve another son when she lost Able why can't He do it in this day and time. He never changes and He is a God of second chances.

    A very emotional poem written with feelings from the heart..The only thing that I saw that may help you in the future is..If you are writing a rhyming piece, it may be good to check your words...other than that I find nothing that needs correction. Thanks for sharing.

    Wow I did not know about this, I am really sorry. You made me cry. I really did't know, this poem show that you still feel the pain. This is Aunt Melody wishing Noah Anthony the best that heaven has to offer. I am sure that he is happy and has seen the face of Jesus. I can picture him running up and down those golden streets and climbing over the pearly gates. (remember he has Lyons blood so he has to be into something intersting) Sorry for your pain. Love ya Sis. Melody

    Thanks for the applause!! I have used all of mine but I did applaud your poem about the cardbard box. Being at Noah's party today reminded me that if I didn't miscarry and would jave had a boy I would have named him Noah so I have wanted to write about this for awhile and di so today. Sometimes it still hurts because I wish Hannah could have a brother/sister to share things with. But I know someday I'll see the little angel...........
