Do you hear me crying Mommy
I hope that you can hear
that even tho I still am small
I love you Mommy dear!
I long to see you Mommy
I feel quite alone
but your love I feel within
and Mommy I'm your own!
Mommy I feel you're nervous
wondering what you should do
You didn't expect I'd come along
You prayed God will see you through
This time of carrying me full term
Please, please to me give
I have so many hopes and dreams
Please give me life that I may live!

This is a tender subject, and most private in nature to those who have lost a child in pregnancy, or anything related to it.
I myself know what it was like to lose a child in pregnancy, and the ties to that child never go away. My heart is with the babies lost in pregnancy, and also to mothers and fathers who know all about it.

Aww. This is a truly sad poem but very well written. I've had an aunt and a best friend who have been through the same situation and the emotional toll it took on them was almost unbearable for everybody. Thanks for sharing such a heartfelt poem!

Such a tender and heartfelt poem. My sympathy to you for your loss, but I feel certain you will meet your lost child again. I don't know what your beliefs or faith are, but I feel confident that your child is waiting to see you again.

This brought tears to my eyes as I lost a child more than once in the quest to have my second miracle baby....my son. I was never to have children now I have two but still I think of the few I lost before and wondering what they would have been like and if they would have looked like me, and many other things...very touching and well written piece, thanks for having the strength to write about a subject so sensitive
