Our Stories of Miscarriage: Healing With Words

A thought, a wish, a spark!
A secret, a joy, a life.
A specialness carried within.

A spot, a cramp, a tear.
A dread, a fear, a sorrow.
An emptiness carried within.

A rage, a pain, a loss.
A sadness, an ache, a love.
A grief carried within.

 

WHY TAKE MINE???

With so many babies born in poverty,
So many born unwanted and unloved.
Why take mine?

With so many babies born to drug addicts,
So many abused or abandoned.
Why take mine?

With so many babies born to teenagers,
So many born unplanned and to other families.
WHY TAKE MINE?!?

 

TO MY BABY

Mourning Sickness: Stories and Poems about Miscarriage, Stillbirth, and Infant Loss

Oh baby, didn't you think I wanted you?
Didn't you hear my heart crying out to you?
Oh baby, didn't you know I loved you?
Didn't you feel warmth from my soul surround you?

Oh baby, why did you leave me all alone?
Why am I left with emptiness and sadness?
Oh baby, why did I never get to meet you?
Why'd you say good-bye before we've said hello?

 

I DIDN'T KNOW...

I didn't know how much I wanted you,
I didn't know how much I care,
I didn't know how much I'd cry for you,
Till you were no longer there.

I didn't know my arms could ache,
I didn't know my soul could tear.
I didn't know my heart could break,
Till you were no longer there.
