The little miracle in my life that was too eager to arrive.

Today ... August 23rd,

Is the day you were meant to arrive.

On Monday March 4th it was, Much too early,

With no chance that you could survive.

I have shed so many tears for you,

They fall freely down my cheeks.

As life continues on each day,

It's been, minutes, days, now weeks.

Like yesterday, I remember,

So vivid and so, so detailed.

How you arrived so still and silent,

And of all the questions and of how I failed.

Your beautiful face, I still see,

So pale, as white as snow.

The sparkle of your eye, or their color,

Something, I will never know.

For the sun on your face, the wind in your hair,

Or for the breath, you will never take.

To the castles in the sand, the mud pies,

The silly jokes and funny faces you will never make.

The size of your hand, so tiny,

Eyes closed, so at peace.

Yet the impact on my heart so deep,

The pain, lose and memories I cannot release.

With support from family and friends,

And time, I know, our hearts will one day mend.

But our memories, dreams and love for you,

Will never, never, end.

The time I read this, I had just found news, and I was writing a poem about being with child... and I read this. And you have really captured my heart. So beautiful and full of emotion. I am speechless and left with tears in my eyes and I'm sorry for such an emotional response. But at the time when I had happened to read this the emotions were so raw, having to imagine this child. Beautiful poem. Amazing. :)

This is such a beautiful expression of the sad sad experience that is miscarriage and loss of a child. You portrayed the pain and the emotion clearly and elegantly. Well penned.
