The droplets fall cascading from my eyes
Like a waterfall they flow.
Each one holding some of the pain
But its so hard to let go.
In two weeks time you would have been mine
I'd have been holding you safe in my arm.
But instead I am left with an aching inside
I could not keep you from harm.
My baby I love you with each beat of my heart
Each breath I wish into you I could breathe.
I wish I could hold you, touch you and smell you
But instead I am left here to grieve.
Author notes
Our baby was due to be born on June 14th 2007 but at the 12 week scan we found out she was no longer alive and I miscarried not long after.
I will always remember her (I think of her as a she even tho i don't truly know the gender)and in the weeks leading up to her due date I know it will be hard.
its just a reflection of how i feel so no need to say anything

I Too, Know This Pain........................
as seven years ago I miscarried at five weeks. I have a daughter now seventeen, but I believe this would have been a son, I just feel it inside. Now I cannot have anymore children and am left with a void,this was gracefully penned and I related with you throughout feeling that familar pain from seven years past. I did write a poem called "God's Little Angel{My Noah Anthony} if you'd like to read it. It may be a source of comfort for yu. I still click and read it from time to time myself as I will never forget my lost baby who is now and angel in the heaven I ruly believe. I hope healing and comfort will fill your heart and time will help to subside the pain. This was a beautiful tribute!!!Thanks for bringing my Little Noah to mind today!!!Toni~~

wow, I'm SO sorry. My sister has felt this same pain because 22 days before her son, Exavier, was due, the placenta burst and he suffocated. She still has not gotten over the pain of it all, but she now has a healthy, lovable, 10 month old son. It's been a long journey, but I believe she's slowly getting back up on her feet. She hurts - but she's still putting one foot in front of the other.
I could feel the pain in this poem - and I'm sorry you have to feel it as well. Keep hanging on. I'll be praying for you.

This is a great loss, I am truely sorry for it, but well, everything that happens just happen for a reason. Keep faith and love for your unborn child. Children are angels send from above, you were blessed by one though she has to depart too early but she's still alive in your heart.
The poem was so touching, I can find no words to say about it, forgive me.

oh free will...my heart aches for you. Saddened by the loss of birthing a lifeless child that you had grown to love sicne conception. She is an angel now and is grateful to have had the time she did with you. She loves her mother and waits to be reunited with you in heaven. Grieve all you want and for as long as you need. But remember, She was given to you for reasons only you and God will know. Never forget her when you bare you future children. For your firstborn will always be your firstborn even in stillness. Celebrate her bdays always so she knows you will never forget her. True it will be dificult but in your own time you will heal. Do not feel guilty that you could not keep her healthy within your womb. For it was God's Will. Maybe This was His way of preparing you for something greater and profound.
I will pray daily for you and for your heavenly angel.
