Your baby will have a mom & a dad,

still - why do I feel so bad?

You & I worked so hard to be born

And at last you greet the early morn.

All I get is that one glance.

Oh baby, if only we had a chance.

The hospital is an empty place

When I can no longer see your face.

A memory to carry me through the years

Thoughts of you to release the tears.

A million tears I've cried

A thousand deaths I've died.

Some other mother will be formost in your heart.

I'll have to go on somehow, Get a fresh start.

But to every child your age I look to see

if there might be some inherited part of me.

And every time a child is lost or dies,

I hope that he's not mine,my heart & soul cries

I hope your parents will love you as much as I do

And that your troubles in life will be few.

And every year on that special day

my heart celebrates in it's own way.

For you are alive & growing

And I take comfort in knowing

that perhaps some day my heart will be free

when your loving face again I see.

Your poem was beautiful! I also write poems and I find it gives me a release from my thoughts and helps me to feel better. I too am a birth mom but have been reunited with my daughter, however am looking for my husbands bmom.
Again, thank you for sharing and keep it up, you do real good work.

If only I had been able to write these words, it's exactly what I have fault time and time again.

I am a mother just like you,who lost my little darling, on June 18,1971, in Toronto, Canada


To read your poem that makes me cry
A thousand deaths from deep inside
You say the same words that I say
The pain It seems will always stay
Like you I've cried a million tears
My heart has bled throughout the years

My heart to yours
