Baby Death Poem

I wrote this for a friend who had sadly lost a little one and I know how that felt losing my daughter

Little Angel Unknown

© Ronnie Hunter
A little angel unknown I, am, my place is as an angel in a secret land.
I didn't have a name as such, you didn't get the chance,
I wasn't meant to live on earth just touch you by the hand.
I've been sent to touch your lives and I know you’ll think that cruel,
but its only special people that are chosen exceptions to the rules.
I knew you would love me from the very start,
from that first sighting & beating of my tiny heart,
so I know that it will hurt you that you have to say goodbye,
but I am your guardian angel now and I'll dry the tears from your eyes.
I'll be there by your side wherever you now go,
I will hear you speak of me often & what I might have been if I'd grown,
I'll be the special angel in the picture that you have,
I'll remind you of my brother & my dad,
I'll have your little features all of you as one
& I'll love you always as my special mum.
You might not have got to see me as a living breathing thing,
but I'll be the ribbon around your heart and my love will be deep within,
this pleasure I promise will be mine,
to be your guardian angel from now until the end of time.
I'll gift you with my presence every night within your dreams,
walk always as your special unknown angel
gifted to you within just for a short while,
so think of me often and smile,
For I, am your very own special unknown gifted child.

  • A few days ago, a really good friend of mine lost his babies in a tragic head on collision with a tractor trailer. This poem touched my heart on how my friend will have several guardian angels to watch over him and that he will never be alone in his life.
    His baby girl and his twin boys will be there through thick and thin to keep him safe!!

    At 19 weeks I was told there was no heartbeat my son had passed. I was quickly rushed over to labor and delivery where other happy couples were having their living breathing babies. My labor was induced and I spent the next 9 hours laboring to deliver my sweet precious baby, delusions from all the meds I thought he would be okay....... I thought he was alive
    This poem speaks to me
    Always broken,

  • I went into my 5 month OB appointment on Thursday hoping to learn the sex of my baby but was instead told that his heart had stopped beating and I had to go deliver him at the hospital. It was the worst 24 hours of my life. He was so loved from the very start and there is such a big void in my life. This poem really helped me and so did the other stories to know that unfortunately I am not alone.

  • I think this poem is sweet because my mom was a twin and her little sister or brother died in the womb. Luckily she lived, its quite sad knowing that my aunty or uncle is watching over us, rip to every baby that doesn't get the chance to live when they really don't deserve not to see the light.

  • My niece had twins at 28 weeks two beautiful girls, sadly one died a few short hours later. The other baby is holding on thank God and wed 10th Nov we are to lay our little princess to rest. As a parent myself I never thought I would ever go to a baby's funeral. I went to see our princess at the chapel of rest and she looked so tiny almost as small as her teddy that her mum had put with her. God has a new angel now to look down on us. God bless baby girl .

  • On March 29, 2011 I went to my OB doctor for my 16 week checkup hoping to hear my little girl was still healthy only to find out that her little heart stopped beating. The next 15 hours were hard for me and her daddy and we didn't know if we would make it but we now know that we have a little guardian angel looking over us and staying by our side. Mommy and Daddy love you very much Adalynn Claire!

  • I lost my daughter 11 years ago. I was 5 months pregnant and never had any other children. We had a funeral for her and everything. I never felt that kind of pain in my life and I still find myself fighting back the tears...I wonder how she would of looked if she would have had my eyes and my husbands hair. It's just so unfair but God knows what he's doing an I look forward to meeting her at the gates. My heart is filed with anticipation and I know that she's with me everyday I love you angel Gamino Garza you're always in my heart baby, love mom.

  • This is sad I was going to adopt my friends baby. She was 22 weeks and I was going to raise her when she was born August 24 2011. My daughter passed away she was 18 weeks earlier and there wasn't nothing that would have brought her back. I think of her everyday and shed tears here and there, but no matter what I have to stay strong. I miss her so much she was so little so fragile I miss my daughter.

  • I went to my OB appointment on March 15th 2012 and found out my 9 week 3 days baby had no heartbeat. This poem in a way has given me closure. I loved my baby as soon as I found out I was pregnant. I wanted the baby so bad. I have been trying to get pregnant for the past 2 years and I thought at last but I was able to nurture her only for 6 weeks. I know my angel is with me that is the reason why I name my baby "Angel". sleep tight my little angel till we meet and I get to hold you for the first time.

  • I'm so sorry to hear about everyone's loss

    Past year 16 October 2011 I was 2 months pregnant and I didn't know. We lose our baby
    I had a miscarry.
    It was my first child. We give the baby the name Little Angel. I cried so much.
    3 months after my miscarry In January 2012 I find out I was pregnant again.
    My test was positive I was so happy, that night I told my boyfriend I was pregnant he was happy to!
    In march we had the first echo I was 7 weeks everything was okay,
    We saw the little tiny heart beating. We were so happy.
    Then in the month April we had a new echo and
    We just found out last Friday that our baby that I am still carrying no longer has a heartbeat. I cried all day!! It was so painful.

    God bless my 2 little guardian angels.
    I know you watch over us!!
    Mommy and daddy loves you!

  • After 8 years of trying almost every thing my wife and I found out that our prayers had finally been answered and she was pregnant with our 2nd child. After 3 home tests and a test at our family Dr we were so happy. At the first appointment at the O.B. they did a sonogram, but no heartbeat. The Dr assured us that sometimes at this early stage sometimes it couldn't be found and rescheduled for the next week. 3 days later my wife called me at work that something was wrong. She had miscarried. We were devastated, I think of our little angel all the time, and sometimes cry for know apparent reason. We now have 2 more children and all 3 of our kids are my entire world! But I will never forget about my 4th child who I never met, and who never met us. I will always love you.

  • When I was 6 yrs. old I really wanted a brother or a sister. How many years we waited, and it's a miracle that my mom was 3 months pregnant. I was so happy, it's the best gift that God gave to us. And then 31st of May 2010 my mom gave birth to my little brother. But in the 2nd day June 2, 2010 his heartbeat was not normal already, we tried our best but nothing happened. He died June 4, 2010. I knew that God has a reason why he took my brother, and now this day is his 2nd birthday. We always love you with all our heart baby boy. Well I'm just a loving sister who really loves her brother. Happy birthday my dear, I wish your happy wherever you are. Rest in peace my little one.

  • I gave birth to a cute little boy last Jan 19, 2013. He's our first child and we name him Aaron Angelico... feel so happy when it's time for me to give birth because I will now see my baby but only to know that he passed away while I'm giving birth. It's hurt me so much that I see and hold my son for only a minute... Aaron baby I want you to know that Daddy and I love you so dearly... someday we'll see each other again and by that time comes I will hold you forever....

  • This story touch me so much. This Easter March 31st. It begin with the pain. I went into the ER there I found out I was pregnant I was 4 weeks and 5 days the news was really shocking we already have three boys. But I still was happy and excited hoping this little one was my girl. About an hour later Dr came in and said this is might not be a normal pregnancy. After all the testing it showed my pregnancy was what they call a "tubal pregnancy" my baby was in my Fallopian Tube. I had to go into surgery and they had to remove my baby and right fallopian. I know my lil one will always be my "unknown lil Angel"
