The empty arms are a constant reminder that your baby is gone.

Empty Arms

©  Linda
Holding out these empty arms
Cursing my disillusionment
Why did I imagine it could be any other way
that I could have been content, dreams that’s all it was,
Mothers arms are not meant to be empty
I look up at the sky, tears filling my eyes,
Searching the stars trying to find my angel
The brightest star I search for
Finding it the first tear rolls down my cheek
Memories flood back of our short time together
Love totally encasing my heart as I look at that star
I know you are there baby I will never forget
I just can’t come to accept as I look that you are so far
I would have cuddled and loved you kept you safe
Within my arms holding you in a tight embrace
I will search these skies for you each night
But just for now have to leave you in Gods guiding light
Sleep well my baby one day my arms and heart will be full again
As I join you and give you all that was meant to be

I lost my son on Oct 26 2008 I felt like my world would end

I am SO sorry for your loss! A woman I work with was 8 1/2 months along and one day at work, she felt pain and went to the doctor to find that her son had passed. I think about it and I hear about other women who've experienced the loss of a child and I don't think there's a more devastating experience and I can't imagine going through what you are going through! You are a very strong woman and hopefully, some day you will be reunited with your child. My condolences…

I too have lost a baby. I was 3 1/2 months pregnant and then one day I had lost my baby. May 1, 2009 is that fateful day. I am writing this because October 27, 2009 is the day my baby would have been born. The more that day October 27 creeps up, it is trying to remind me of what I don't have. What is never going to be. Thank you for this poem, it is beautiful. How does one stop hurting after this has happened to them?
