YOUR LOSS POEMS(Babies:conception-3)

 ROXANNE by Mary Elizabeth


Little Roxanne so very tiny,

you didn't come to us,

but we love you so very much.


I'm sorry I didn't know,

I was so young,

but then again baby,

you were always in my heart and soul.

For all these years-

I really did feel you in my heart.

God was with us all the way dear little one.

Stay near and give me a sign that you hear what I am saying,

touch your fathers heart through Jesus Christ Our Lord.

I love you and will be with you and see you in heaven.


OUR BABY by Chantal May (7th November 2007)

cute are your fingers

sweet are your toes

blue are your eyes

and snubbed is your nose


your little squeel of happiness

your little cry of loneliness

your lovely face of loveliness


we love you oh dear

we love you to bits

puts our eyes to tear


your our little angel

our darling in  disguise 

your my baby girl

all just one big suprise


SPACE by Amanda Weeks(4th September 2007)

He left a space.

Never knew he was a "he" until the post mortem.

The little life. I never saw his face

 A tiny body. A huge space.


He left a void.

It couldn't be filled with drink or drugs

Believe me, I tried.

Six months' gestation. Eternal void.


He left guilt.

Was I wrong to decorate his room,

Buy a pram with matching quilt?

Three pounds, two ounces. Heavy guilt.


He left despair.

A freak with bad insides

A child I could not bare.

Neo-natal death. Life of despair.


He left me

Alone with my bottle and pills

And people saying it wasn't meant to be.

A wanted son. He left me.


SADLY by Ann Mullarkey(2nd August 2007)

A little child was given.

The happiness was brief.

The joy he brought into our lives

was turned to bitter grief.

He was taken we were left, to face the years ahead.

With broken hearts and empty arms, but somehow we were led.

Through the storms of sorrow, to the quiet certainty.

that one day we will see beyond this veil of tragedy.

Still we mourn him sadly

but the days in passing bring

The faith that we will meet again

In God's eternal spring.


SO MANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS by Geraldine Goldie(September 2006)


Silent grief, warm tears and an empty feeling to the pit of my stomach

How can anyone possibly understand?

How do I say goodbye when I didn't get to say hello?

I want so bad to keep you how do I let you go?

Why would such a loving God put me through so much pain?

Why me God?  Why us?

So many unanswered questions



Was it a boy or a girl, of maybe even twins

When would they have been born?

What names would we have chosen?

Who would they have looked like?

Are they being cared for in heaven?

Are they happy?

Will we ever meet?

So many unanswered questions



Why do I have to grieve in silence?

Are people afraid to mention it in case they upset me?

Or are they just lost for words?

Or maybe it's just another medical procedure to them?

Why is there no special place that I can go talk to them, to
remember?

So many unanswered questions



Why did this have to happen God?

Was it the box I lifted?

Did I work too hard last week?

Am I being punished for something?

So many unanswered questions



Did they know how devastating it was to be given that little white
box?

When we saw our baby on the screen, the little heart so still?

Why do the doctors not have any answers?

Why can't they invent a test so we'd know why?

Did I cause more harm by agreeing to that invasive scan?

Am I too old or maybe it's genetic?

Why so many times God?

So many unanswered questions



Will we ever hold a healthy baby in our arms?

Will we ever get the chance to choose a name,
 
to wait by the school gates with the other parents, to cry at the nativity play,

to see their first steps or buy them their first pair of shoes?

Will I ever rub scribbles off the wallpaper,
 
wipe baby milk from my clothes or comb chocolate from my hair?

Will I ever get the chance to moan about sleepless nights

or the cakes that they want me to bake for the school sale of work?

So many unanswered questions


So God, how do we possibly move on with our lives?

When should we try again?

How long should we wait?

What if it happens again?

Could we cope a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th time?

Would it be as painful as the last time?

How would we cope?

Should we just give up and plan our future together,

just the two of us?

So many unanswered questions



How often should I light candles for my little angels?

Goodness knows, family and friends have said enough prayers

Maybe a novena would work?

Maybe Holy oil?

What about praying to St Gerrard Majella?

Perhaps counselling would help?

Or maybe we should plant a tree or write a poem?

So many unanswered questions



So in the end God, I'm sitting here in your presence tonight

Thinking about the little ones that I have lost

Praying that I can learn to accept what has happened

That I can start to look to the future again with renewed hope

That my faith in you will return

And above all, that we can learn to live in our world of unanswered
questions







A BABY TO ITS MOTHER by Marilyn Di Pietro



Here I lay not well,

for u been through so much.

I´m sad to say I have to go,

I love u both so much.

U were proud of me for being strong,

when mummy it was u along.

U both created a miracle girl with all the love u both had in the world.

Kept me going for so long the strenght u
gave as time went by,

the message u kept sending inside.



Come on Jessi,I`m scared to,

lets do this together all the way through.

For I will not give
up until u do,

well mummy I had to,


for I was not strong to see it
through.



But now I know what I have to do,

is to create another baby that awaits,

to look like me in some way.

To let u know that I`m still there with all the
love u both will share.

Please mummy dont give up cause all that love is
just above,

close your eyes and picture me there,

cause I will be
smiling at u every where.



U must go on for we will meet in the most beautiful
place u never been,

when time is right we will reunite but untill then
goodbye again

BABY JESSICA


A Mother's poem.

In loving memory of Bethany Crowther, 12.12.2000. Born sleeping.

Written by her mummy, Emma Jackson.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Every day, it passes,

Along with each New Year.

I often find I think of you,

And always shed a tear.

People say that it gets easier,

The pain does go away.

But I just find that missing you,

Gets stronger every day.


 
I wonder what my life would be,

With you by my side.

First day at school, you're growing up,

Strengthening my pride.

A mother's love is endless,

Maternal love abounds.

But it's not the same as you being here,

Knowing you are around.


 
And yet one day I know we'll meet,

Our bond cannot be broken.

As each new day brings me near,

To words we've never spoken.

I love you so much sweetheart,

I miss you every day.

My arms long to surround you,

And show you in every way.


 
And so, my darling daughter,

I send you all my love.

I take comfort knowing you're in His arms,

Looking down on us from above.

And as each new day opens,

I give a little smile,

For although Inever met you,

I held you for a while.


 
As night's dark sky surrounds me,

I often fantasize,

The twinkling of the stars reflect,

The twinkles in you're eyes.

Although you can't be with me,

We're forced to be apart.

I carry a little bit of you,

Always in my heart.
 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bethany Crowther, born sleeping 12/12/2000.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
God gave you to us fast asleep,

A blessing that we could not keep,

Our little angel, pure and sweet,

Although we never got to meet.

We always thought that you would stay,

But you were swiftly whisked away,

Into God's arms, you're life to be,

Without us both, Daddy and me.

Although you're life was cut so short,

We're always left with one sweet thought,

Throughout our lives you'll always be,

Our little Angel Bethany.


Phillip by Luanne Rimmer

One year later angel and mum and dad still miss you.

I do not know how we
will get through the day but I know we have you close to us in our
thoughts.

Phillip all I ask is that you look after your niece/nephew and let them
know we love and miss them dearly!

 Our Little Boy Chase By Cynthia

Loving you is easy,

We do it every day,

Missing you is a heartache,

That never goes away.

For you were not born alone

Your little brother Chance was with you.

Nor did you leave alone

Your Mommy and Daddy held you.

You have a big sister Kasey,

Who never got to meet you.

You will never be forgotten ,

Your spirit still lives on.

For we will forever be
A Family with Identical Twins


 MY LITTLE ANGEL
       by
   JENNA HOLLAND


Your my little angel & I love you so dear,

I know its not God`s fault why you aint here.

You where taken from me and I cried out my heart,

but I know I'll be with you again,just like from the start.

Letting you go was the hardist thing,

But giving birth and seeing you is the best gift that God can bring

  THOUGHTS & FEELINGS OF MIA by SHARNA


No matter where I am I always think about you Mia

and I feel you in me and i hear you cry


I sit here and think and start to cry


But then someone says to me dont cry mummy

I am with you no matter where you are

Im there,your heart holds me in it

and one day your be with me and we'll be happy


untill that day dont cry


No matter how or where,

You are there in my heart.

No place I go you are not there.

I feel you in me to this day.

I allways think your next to me

 and I hear you call me mummy

 and ask for a kiss as I sit here and cry.

I allways think about you


  A MOTHER`S LOVE BY CATHY SCHLABACH


I remember the day I found out about you,

It was tears of joy, and laughter too.

I called my parents, and my sister too,

Boy, were they happy to hear about you.




I never thought I would have a chance to say,

I'm having a baby in the next two-hundred twenty-three days!

I was so excited, I jumped up and down,

I didn't realize, in a few days, I would be saddened with a frown.




I had started making big plans to get ready for you,

Just for my heart to get shattered by the horrible news.

I called Daddy and told him what was going on,

And explained that nothing could stop what was done.




I prayed to God that this was not true,

But finally realized this was his plan for you.

Not a day goes by that I don't wish you were here with me,

But it's time to spread your angel wings and be set free.




I will always love you deep inside of my heart,

You were mommy's angel right from the very start.

I'll see you again, tonight in my dreams,

Like every other night, or so it seems.




This is Mommy's love that I'm dedicating to you,

You will always be here with me in everything I do!


   "GABRILLE"  BY SUSAN DOYNE.

I felt you move inside of me

What a precious gift God gave to me.

Then one day the movement stoped,

and I knew it was not meant to be.

Jesus took you home before you were born,

 a little anGel to brighten Heavens gate.

Sleep little sweetheart, till me meet



    "MOMMIES ANGEL"  BY Monica Lea Lovell

My heart completely breaking,

my soul being ripped from me,

that Saturday, my small one

when I'd learned you weren't to be


How could He let this happen,

after I had felt the love,

that i had for you my baby,

Mommys Angel from above.


To say the least you weren't expected,

not planned but nonetheless,

my heart turned to a Mothers,

my life at last was blessed.



I often sat up wondering,

 just how we would survive,

I was prepared to die for you,

You had truly changed my life.



I love you, our precious baby,

Mommy never will forget,

I will always hold you dearly,

Even though we've never met..



Sleep sweet my darling Angel,

Until the time comes for me,

Then we both will be with Jesus,

Another good-bye will never be.



We love you our sweet precious baby. Til eternity comes Mommys heart is forever yours...

Love Eternally, Mommy and Daddy



I will always love you our
precious child..sleep sweet in Jesus arms til Mommy comes
for you my heart is forever yours..


MADELINE`S PRAYER by Tracey Melanson


Heavenly Father it's Madeline

Today my Mommy is sad

She misses me so much

I pray she knows I am with her

I pray she feels my touch

It's Mother's Day

Her heart is broken

She feels confusion and
 dispair

I pray you find a way for her
 
to know that I am there

Please mend her heart and give her peace

Gently wipe away her tears

I pray she hears me as I whisper

I love you Mommy in her ear

Let her know I am not alone

My Papa's right beside me

With him I share a bond

He tells me of his love for her

For her he feels so fond

When she lays her head down to go to sleep

I pray she hears me when I say

"Don't forget Mommy"

We will be together again someday.

Amen





***My first grandaughter Madeline, was born asleep in February. Mother's Day is TODAY 8TH MAY 2005- my daughter lives too far away for us to be together. I wanted so badly to help her get through this time, so I wrote her a poem. I pray that God eases the pain within all our hearts.


THE CRYING by Sabrina Meadows(Mom to 3 babyangels and 4 children on this earth )


I sway to the melodic beat of my madness.

It never leaves me it is who I have become.

I reach out to touch it, but it slips through my fingers.

They come to me at night.

I pray for the strength to make it til morning, for my release.

I am caught in this nightmare this never ending pain.

I can hear them crying wanting me to come to them.

I run all over searching I scream out their names.

They cannot be found but I hear them crying.

I rock myself in the darkness of the night, praying one will find me.

They never do.

I do not know who is lost, them or me.

This is my hell on earth.

My children are crying, they need me, but their death has stopped me from finding them.

I hear them crying!

Please I cannot find them I hear my children, but I am helpless.

SHANE by  Thaddeus Mart

 Shane still lives,his life shall never cease.

 For his Kingdom belongs to little ones such as these.

 He now dances with angels, he is filled with joy.

 Gods beautiful creation, our precious baby boy.

 So be still , and be at peace, for it is only us that mourn.

 Shane now touches the face of God, Shane has been reborn.

"Our Baby"   by   Rebecca Dunderdale

We'll never 4get our young baby that never had the chance to c the light,

Even though we didnt get to c your little hands, feet, or hear your little cry,

Even though we didnt get to hold u in our arms

We'll always hold u close to our hearts and always we will remember 16 feb as u would b a year older.

 CHARLIE by Tamara Thompson

Forget you Charlie We never will,  

for in our hearts your living still.

Gentle Jesus up above please take care of the one We love,


     DEAR GRACE by Kristi Lynn Shine

Dear Grace.......I never saw your tiny face, nor held your hand felt your embrace......



I never heard the presence of your cry upon this earth


So many things I took for granted waiting for your birth


I never heard you laugh and I never heard you cry


I was so very angry the day you had to die


You lived inside my tummy for just a few short months


I never got to feel you kick nor even feel your punch


The day you died I didn't understand how this could be


A part of me was taken and my heart felt misery


The emptiness inside me was to much for me to bear


I didnt want to live and I drank into despair


The bottle numbed my feelings and I didn't feel the pain


I thought they'd gone forever but now I'm feeling them again


The grief I never grieved when you were taken on that day


And the feelings I had buried never really went away


I don't know why it happened and I want to blame myself


But I know God has His reasons far beyond what eyes can see


Dear Grace in heaven listen to your mommy's voice


I am sorry that you left me and I didn't have a choice


With life we can't explain why such tragedies occur


Only God has all the answers but for me there all a blur


For now I must go on and deal with all the pain


And accept that im not perfect and get rid of selfish blame


I love sweet baby and I long for the day to listen to your laughter and
watch your soul at play


see you later baby Grace until we meet again someday

For Our Unborn Angel, Noodles

by Janet in Canada


I may never know the reason why, you aren't here with me

Why you were taken away from us, so very hastily

What ailed your descention from the Heaven's Up Above?

When so many were waiting for Our Angel, to Love.




Perhaps there is a greater plan that I can't see right now,

But Mommy has a message that she must get through somehow.

I love you tiny angel, although we never met,

You are in my heart and in my sole and I will never forget.



A tiny life that was so short, you never got a chance,

To see a sunset, smell a flower or dance a joyous dance,


I never got to see your face or hold your tiny hand,

I know G-d has a bigger plan, I just don't understand.



We must go forward with our lives, but I will never forget,

My  Little Angel that lives above that I have never met.

Hopefully, one day, when it is my turn to go,

I will meet you face to face and I will surely know....


Your little face and tiny hand- I'll see you right away,

For you may not be here with us, but in my heart you'll stay.

So, until we meet again one day, I send you all my love,

Please hear my prayer and know I care, My Angel up above.


Always loved and never forgotten,

Love, Mommy, Daddy and Jayden

MY BABY BOY ANTONIO by ZOE


In the 7 months you were in my tummy,you made me forfulilled.

Then I felt you growing inside me,I was filled with joy. 

I still have all your wee things that never got  used.

I sit at night and look at my scan,your tiny body and big long legs  like your daddy.

Honey,I may never have Held you in my arms or seen your wee face or what colour of hair you have.

I have nothing right now to show for my pregnancy.

Baby Antonio,you have really touched my life, my love cant wait to awaken you in heaven

God gave us an Angel...

for thirty - four "Miraculous" minutes you were with us!

At sixteen weeks gestation you were delivered.

"A Miracle" they whispered because you arrived with a fighting heart while only weighing four ounces;  so tiny we held you in the palm of one hand.




God gave us an Angel...

 for thirty - four "Glorious" minutes you were with us!

Within that too brief of a time span, you transformed us and changed our lives forever

~ a woman into a Mother... 

a man into a Father..

that "Special" link to an unfinished chain!



God gave us an Angel...

for thirty - four "Comforting" minutes you were with us!

You stayed long enough to make sure we were alright,

bringing a quiet calmness and filling our hearts with love;

then you spread your tiny wings and flew home ~  taking your place in Heaven! 

God gave us an Angel...

* You were not meant to stay here Forever! *



By Deborah Darby.



WHY?


Why did you come if not to stay,

Why did it have to happen this way,

Though you may be gone for now,

You will join us again someday.




Why did you come if not to stay,

why did you have to go away,

was it because you were need elsewhere,

by someone who need you more,




why did you come if not to stay

you were not real some people say

too young to feel

too small to be real



We say that you are ours, then,

 now and forever more

we love you so thought you time here short

tho thou hast gone thy spirit lives on
in our hearts
 forever,

 we shall hold you dear

why did you come if not to say

with you brother you will never play



but in his life you will stay

in our family there is a space

where belongs your sweet face


gone too soon no pictures to see

in my mind i see thee.


your sweet little face


your golden hair

just like your brother, so fair

darling blue eyes
that pierce the soul,

 something that we will never behold.



Good bye for now my sweet little girl

till we will meet again soon

till then please know

we loved you so

in all our heart you will stay on and on and on and on,


forever more with us.


Love Mummy Daddy and Big Brother Benjimin


Jessic-May Miscarried at 6 weeks gestation


For Joel and Emma



Four little hands,


Four little feet,

You and I were not ment to meet.

Many months of heavenly bliss,

Were not ment to end like this.

 


our angel twins you came too soon.

My waters broke one afternoon.

Our beautiful son your life was doomed

On that dreadful afternoon.

 

No whimper, no cry, no first breath,

Joel Mathew we were there for your death.

No fooball games,

no first date.

No yelling at you for coming home late.

 

Emma Louise, you held on for two more days,

But it was not going to happen

 however hard we prayed.

Your Brother came to get you on a Friday night,

You poor little thing,

 you didn't even  fight.

 

Our angel twins we will love you forever,

Until we are again together.

    MY 3 LITTLE ANGELS



Three little Angel's


That God sent to me


I'll never get to see them play


Or bandage their scrapped knees.


I'll never get to hold the tight


Or tuck them into bed


I'll never get to touch their cheeks


Or kiss them softly on the head


My 3 little Angel's left my life


Just as quickly as they came


If only I had of known


That my life would be forever changed


I love my little Angel's so


Even more than they will ever know


I may never get to see their faces


Or ever get to take them places


Still in my heart I'll always know


That when the days are dark and slow


There is a place that I'll someday go


And there I'll watch my little sunshines glow.

         A Fated Life
  

We prayed and prayed for the blue line to show, 


But months went by and our hope fell low,


Then in June your life appears,


A pregnancy confirmed with excitement and fears.



 
Convinced that this time would be at ease,


The day of the thirtieth brought us to our knees,


A scan couldn't find you, you were hidden from the world,


And as it turns out from the womb you were hurled.




 
Your precious short life was brought to an end,


By a miscarriage that our hearts could not mend,


You've gone to heaven where you'll be safe,


You'll be nurtured and loved of which I have faith.



 
You've gone from my body, it was fated it seemed,


Six weeks was all we got and for that we beamed,


Goodnight fated life, go to heaven with our love,


For we'll never forget our young baby above.

YOUR LOSS POEMS(children 4-18)
 MY BRITTNEY BY Michelle Hankins



Welcome, Jesus smiled and said
 
I've waited eight years for you here in heaven

Brittney looked down towards earth and cried

They dont understand why I've left them today!


Lord look look see how they cry

my parents, my brothers, and sister.

Please let me go back just for a day

to explain to them why I've come here to stay.

Let me show them how perfect my body is now,

I'll show them how deeply and easily I breath.

I'll smile and wave bye bye and laugh with ease.

Please, please let me help them see how happy and strong I am.
 
Lord, I  know I can help my family understand.

Jesus looked gently at Brittney.

Sweet child do not worry.

Their pain will ease and they will grow from the lesson's you've taught.

They will laugh and be joyful more often then sad from the memories you
share.

Jesus held Brittney in his strong arms.

We'll wait for them here, soon you'll be togeather again

Then all will be explained
 
Then Brittney took his hand and smiled..
