Legacy Of A Child

The fruit of my womb

I bared not too long

My darling son

I know I was wrong

 

I thought you would keep

And be born to me

A child much wanted

But could not be

 

I know you wait in heaven

For your mother to come

A legacy you left behind

My heart has grown numb

 

I love you with all my heart

More then you will ever know

Every day I cry

My tears for you I show

 

It won't be too long

Before we are to unite

Your are with your brothers and sisters

So don't be of fright

 

They will take care of you

Until I can be there

They will watch over you

Your life was unfair

 

I think of you every day

And cry for you every night

I love you more then ever

Even though you are out of sight

 

I will love you till the end

Your father will love you too

My thoughts and prayers

Are with you through and through

Author notes

This is dedicated to my lost son ... Justin Tanner DeJong ... I miscarried him while I was 3 months along ... But I know he is in heaven with all of his brothers and sisters that I miscarried before him ... I LOVE YOU LIL' J.T.

    You have done a great job expressing not only the personal pain of such circumstance, but also the hope that carries a person through the pain.

    Thanks for sharing such a personal side of yourself.

    Good luck in the contest.

    Thank you for your entry into the Allpoetry Legacy contest. A difficult subject to write about I'm sure and, as Lisa says, I hope the writing has helped in the healing. Best of luck in the contest.
