They told me you were nothing more
then a fetus aborted and that your heart
was no longer beating like it should
where to my baby, where to ?
I had dreams for you and I precious & dear
but 8 weeks of life is all you had my babe
I wonder where that God is now and why
he took your life away, at sunsets glow
The cradle will be empty come December
and my arms will not forget the ache
my heart is torn in two, my minds an ember
where to my baby, where to ?
They told me to go home and wait for it
Ten days of holding you inside oh how I cried
You never had a chance to see the day but I ,
I will remain strong , I must this May
Cuz heart that break to mend and in the end,
I pray that your an angel watching to defend
My mind is torn in two, my minds an ember
where to my baby , where to?
* A poem I wrote for a friend
who is losing her baby
You know who you are,
I love you, L. xo
A very good question. And a poem showing great empathy towards that stillborn child and its mother. But a mother can try again. Many women have had this happen in their next pregnancy was a full term, healthy baby.
When it happens, it hurts, and I know form personal experience, the hurt never goes entirely away. This poem was touching, sad, beautiful, and heartbreaking, all at the same time.
"Where to?" Certainly the arms of the Creator. Heartbreaking Vienna. You don't just lose the infant, you lose everything they could have become. I perceive your tears on the page of this write. Blessings... r
