This is a poem a friend sent me after my baby died, I thought some of you may enjoy it. I know it gave me strength
FOR MY BABY
I THOUGHT OF YOU AND CLOSED MY EYES; AND PRAYED TO GOD TODAY I ASKED WHAT MAKES A MOTHER AND I KNOW I HEARD HIM SAY....
\";A MOTHER HAS A BABY, THIS WE KNOW IS TRUE.\";
BUT GOD, CAN YOU BE A MOTHER, WHEN YOUR BABY'S NOT WITH YOU?
\";YES, YOU CAN\"; HE REPLIED WITH CONFIDENCE IN HIS VOICE. \";I GIVE MANY WOMEN BABIES, WHEN THEY LEAVE IS NOT THEIR CHOICE. SOME I SEND FOR A LIFETIME; AND OTHERS FOR A DAY AND SOME I SEND TO FEEL YOUR WOMB; BUT THERE'S NO NEED TO STAY.\";
I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS, GOD, I WANT MY BABY HERE.
HE TOOK A BREATH AND CLEARED HIS THROAT; AND THEN, I SAW A TEAR. \";I WISH I COULD SHOW YOU, WHAT YOUR CHILD IS DOING TODAY. IF YOU COULD SEE YOUR CHILD SMILE WITH OTHER CHILDREN AND SAY:
WE GO TO EARTH TO LEARN OUR LESSON'S OF LOVE AND LIFE AND FEAR, MY MOMMY LOVED ME OH SO MUCH, I GOT TO COME STRAIGHT HERE... I FEEL SO LUCKY TO HAVE A MOM, WHO HAD SO MUCH LOVE FOR ME
I LEARNED MY LESSON VERY QUICKLY, MY MOMMY SET ME FREE.
I MISS MY MOMMY OH SO MUCH; BUT I VISIT HER EACH DAY. WHEN SHE GOES TO SLEEP, ON HER PILLOW IS WHERE I LAY I STROKE HER HAIR AND KISS HER CHEEK, AND WHISPER IN HER EAR. MOMMY, DON'T BE SAD TODAY, I'M YOUR BABY AND I'M HERE.
\";SO, YOU SEE, MY DEAR SWEET ONE, YOUR CHILDREN ARE OKAY YOUR BABIES ARE HERE IN MY HOME; AND THIS IS WHERE THEY'LL STAY. THEY'LL WAIT FOR YOU WITH ME, UNTIL YOUR LESSON IS THROUGH. AND ON THE DAY THAT YOU COME HOME; THEY'LL BE AT THE GATES FOR YOU.
SO, NOW YOU SEE WHAT MAKES A MOTHER, IT'S THE FEELING IN YOUR HEART IT'S THE LOVE YOU HAD SO MUCH OF; RIGHT FROM THE VERY START. THOUGH SOME ON EARTH MAY NOT REALIZE ,YOU ARE A MOTHER THEY'LL BE UP WITH ME ONE DAY; AND THEY'LL KNOW YOU'RE THE BEST ONE EVER.\";
