My beautiful sleeping Angel,
What was the lesson I was to learn at your loss?
I know with each gift from god comes a miracle,
Yet I never got to keep you, is there a secret I am missing here?
Limbo, a horrible place to be,
So many years and so many tears,
but so few answers to help me heal.
I miss the chances I never had to hold you.
While you sleep an endless sleep,
I lay awake thinking of you.
I know it all happens for a reason,
but reasons aren't clear right now.
Sail away sweet memories,
that bring nothing but pain.
Let me try to smile when I picture your face
I know I have missed a whole life time.
Everyday I hold you in my minds eye.
Everyday I ask for my love to reach your heart.
I know your here around me,
I just want to know how to move on.
Feeling a love for your child,
is like nothing else in this world,
for it to be taken away too soon was so hard.
More hard than my face could show.
I know everything that happens in my life
is something that makes me who I am.
Losing you was one of those things.....
You made me realise just how much I COULD LOVE.
I would never want to lose that part of me,
I just wish I never had to lose you to learn that lesson.
Sleep until I get to you beautiful one.
Mummy is coming, one day we will be laughing at butterflies together... xxx

oh dear...
this is heart breaking yet so beautiful with the wisdom you have discovered...and shared within words crafted with grace and loss.
The combination of pain and elegant poetry always paints me weeping...
My tears and prayers are with you...I am sorry for your loss but I, I am grateful for who you are today...that is true beauty!
Thank you for sharing your beauty with me...
Blessings! Tammy

I'd written a beautiful comment then my computer decided it hated me. Grrr.
But hey, this is a beautiful piece and I agree with so much of it here. This line really took me
"You made me realise just how much I COULD LOVE."
This is so true, and for a lot of people it shows that their love can actually go that deep, and for some it shows that they can actually love another human being and know that they have actually been needed. The connection between child and mother is, in my opinion, the strongest of all. It doesn't even matter if the child made it into the world or not.
Beautifully written,
♥

HEy there, LOL I understand your PC hating you, mine hates me too. Glad you liked it. And yes, nothing is as strong as mother love.
I lost a baby once and for a long time I could not move on and I knew there muct have been some reason for it and that was the answer I got from my heart.... It happened to me make me realise just 'how much I could love'.
