To my little girl

A loving poem to who was almost my little angel.

To My Little Girl

 

By Matthew S. Van Hove

 

I loved you so much,

Even though we never met.

I love you still and I weep over the things we will never get to share.

 

Your first laugh,

Your first smile,

Your first words,

Your first report car,

Your first boyfriend,

Your first child.

 

I will never get to know you, and it breaks my heart.

I will never get to hold you, and it causes me to cry.

I will never get to be your rock, and it makes me fall like a tumbling tower.

I will never get to love you, and it makes me feel empty inside.

 

We loved you so much and you weren't even a month along.

Your brother Zander loved you too, even if he doesn't understand what has gone on.

I will never forget that you were in our lives,

If only briefly.

I will never forget you my little angel.

And I promise that I will still love you until the day I die.

 

You will always be in my thoughts, because our time was so short together.

You will always be in my heart, because i loved you so much.

You will always be in my smile, because of who you could have been.

And,

You will always be in my soul, because you took part of it with you.

 

I love you so much

My little girl.

Author's Note

My wife miscarried our second child recently. We were all sure it was going to be a girl. It hit us both very hard and i needed to express myself somehow.

Nicely done. I applaud how you were able to take something so painful and turn it into somthing so beautiful...your story, the babies story...she will surely live on through your words and your heart. I'd say sorry but like my teacher says, "it's only a word" one that is over used to the point that it loses its meaning...so i'm remorseful for your lost and forgive me for I couldn't find a better word.

I am deeply sorry for your loss. This is a truly beautiful poem for your little girl and equally as heartbreaking. The fact that she lives in your hearts keeps her alive eternally.

Again, I am sorry for your pain. A very beautiful tribute.

Oh my goodness, matt.. I am terribly sorry for this... I am so shocked. I cant believe it. My heart goes out to you and your family. I dont know what else to say. I have tears falling from my eyes from reading this.. If you need to talk, I am here.
