I dreamed of you last night
Your little fingers curled about mine
I prayed for you last night
That you would soon bring joy to my life
I sang for you last night
May heaven echo my song
I cried for you last night
You'll never be the warmth that sooths my arms

very profound....
I have two kids, and I can't imagine what it would have been like to have lost either one of them. I'm so sorry for your loss, but I have complete faith that she heard you sing to her. She'll always be with you; of that I am quite sure.

What an incredibly poignant and powerful poem. I've cried the same tears, as I too, have lost many babies all at verious stages of development. But miracles do happen. I gave birth to one of them. Keep the faith!

If you dont mind me asking, have you lost a child? Speaking as one who has lost a child, it is something that never leaves you.
My heart goes to you on this piece. Great emotion.
