Pregnancy And Infant Loss Awareness Month - October - Page 2

My Little Angel
- By April Westlake
- Published by Family Friend Poems July 2013 with permission of the Author.
Losing a baby isn't easy for anyone. Losing anybody isn't easy for anyone either. I am lost for words on what has happened with this pregnancy in the last couple months. All I can do is be strong.

Losing A Baby Isn't Easy

in Miscarriage Poems

I never got to hold you,
Or kiss your little head,
Or watch you sleeping soundly
All snuggled in your bed.

I never got to hold you,
Or kiss your little head,
Or watch you sleeping soundly
All snuggled in your bed.

I can't count your tiny fingers
Or your even smaller toes.
I won't see your smile
Or your cute little button nose.

You're gone too soon - we don't even know
If you're a girl or boy.
Our hearts are filled with sorrow
When they should be full of joy.

I know you are in heaven,
Where there is no pain or tears.
You'll never get hurt or sick.
In heaven there are no fears.

And though I'm sad you're not here right now
For us to hold today,
I know we'll hold you in our arms
When we're in heaven with you someday.

An Angel's Dad!
- By Daniel Kerr
- Published by Family Friend Poems March 2013 with permission of the Author.
This is third poem I am submitting about my beautiful daughter, Lexi, who passed away last year. I have never really written poems before she died, and I find it a way to express how I feel about my ongoing pain.

in Baby Death Poems

I can't begin to express the pain that I am in.
I lost a part of me, and that hurts me deep within.
You said goodbye before we ever got the chance to really say hello.
You were gone in a flash, leaving tears mixed with love and sorrow.

I can't begin to express the pain that I am in.
I lost a part of me, and that hurts me deep within.
You said goodbye before we ever got the chance to really say hello.
You were gone in a flash, leaving tears mixed with love and sorrow.
I don't know if you chose your path or it was chosen for you,
but I'm glad I was on your journey before you got your wings and flew.
You're my angel now watching over us from above,
My inspiration for life and my teacher of the meaning of love.
In 19 days, you taught me more than I even thought I could know.
How could something so small have so much courage to show?
You taught me that I need to stay strong and never give up,
that it doesn't matter if it is half empty or full, just enjoy the cup.
It's funny how someone that was only here for such a little while
can be remembered with every heartbeat, tear, and smile.
The pain I have in my chest does not make me feel sad;
it's just the battle wound I have for being an Angel's Dad!

I Am Here
- By Stacey Jo Rumberger
- Published by Family Friend Poems July 2012 with permission of the Author.
I am a mom of four handsome boys. When people ask if I was "trying for that girl," I get so mad because they have no idea. You don't have a baby because you want one; you are given a baby because the big man upstairs says so. Things happen for a reason, what reason? We will never know. I don't have a good story to share. My sister lost a baby boy 8 years ago in the 2nd trimester & I have had too many friends lose or miscarry their angel babies.

Poem For The Loss Of A Baby

in Miscarriage Poems

Please don't cry, I am here.
Just look around; I am very near.
I am the prettiest butterfly
exploring the day.

Please don't cry, I am here.
Just look around; I am very near.
I am the prettiest butterfly
exploring the day.
I am the shiniest star
showing you my wings glisten afar.
I am the wind moving your hair
to kiss your cheek,
so please wipe your tears away.
I am here, playing hide 'n seek.

My Dreams For You
- By Daniel Kerr
- Published by Family Friend Poems July 2012 with permission of the Author.
I have never really been able to express my feelings very well. In fact, I am usually as closed off to the world about my feelings as a giant rock. However, since my daughter died, I can't stop writing these poems, and I want to share with the world the love I have for my beautiful baby girl.

in Baby Death Poems

I had so many dreams for you
That will now never come true.
I wanted you to have the life I never had,
Where every day was good and not one day was bad.

I had so many dreams for you
That will now never come true.
I wanted you to have the life I never had,
Where every day was good and not one day was bad.
I wanted you to be happy and have a fun-filled life.
I would have loved to see you be someone's wife.
I would have loved to see you do a little ballet twirl.
I wanted you to be the world's happiest little girl.
I wanted to put you on my shoulders as we watched your favourite band.
I wanted to take you to the beach and watch you play in the sand.
These are all things that I most wanted to do;
All I can do now is dream of doing these things with you.
Now all I want is to see your smile
And to hold you close for a little while.
Your mum and I are in so much pain,
Even though we know it won't be long until we see you again.
For now all I can do is hope and pray
That I'll get to hold you in my arms again one day.

Poem For Grieving Parent For A Lost Child

in Miscarriage Poems

We don't want to cry anymore,
But the pain won't go away.
Our hearts are torn in two
Because our baby couldn't stay.

We don't want to cry anymore,
But the pain won't go away.
Our hearts are torn in two
Because our baby couldn't stay.

We don't want to cry anymore.
God had other plans for you.
Mommy and Daddy will get through this someday,
But right now our world is blue.

We don't want to cry anymore.
We never thought we'd be torn apart.
Even though we can't hold you in our arms,
We will always hold you in our hearts.

We don't want to cry anymore.
Our Angel, there was nothing we could do.
Mommy and Daddy will miss you so much,
And never forget, we will always love you.

Long To See Your Sweet Face
- By Kim Perry
- Published by Family Friend Poems January 2012 with permission of the Author.
This poem was written for our child we lost at 10 1/2 weeks due to a miscarriage. Grieving a child you never got the chance to meet is absolutely the hardest thing I have ever had to go through. With this loss there are no memories to hold on to help with the grief. This poem is an outlet for me to start that grieving process.

in Miscarriage Poems

Two pink lines, we knew it was true,
Sooner than later we would meet you.
I yelled for your Daddy and smiled just so.
He stood there in shock and a glorious glow.

Two pink lines, we knew it was true,
Sooner than later we would meet you.
I yelled for your Daddy and smiled just so.
He stood there in shock and a glorious glow.
We made lots of phone calls and shared our great news.
I had lots of symptoms and even some clues.
Then one day as I was taking out the trash,
Something came over me and I knew in a flash
Everything was wrong and I prayed it wasn't so,
So I called up your Daddy and said we must go
To the hospital to check on your stats.
Waiting so patiently for the results to come back,
We were told the bleeding was normal, you were just fine.
Worrying uncontrollably because you were mine,
Waiting for the doctor seemed to take forever.
I guess she just thought she was being so clever.
Up on the screen we could see your silhouette.
The doctor made a grave face, and I said no, not yet.
"There is no heartbeat," are the words we dreaded most.
The tears started to fall and I felt like a ghost.
I wanted to run, and I wanted to hide.
I wanted you there standing at my side.
I long now to hold you and hear your soft cries,
Play with your belly and hear your faint sighs.
Never will I have the chance to kiss your sweet lips,
Wrap your sweet legs around my soft hips.
I know you are in Heaven and safe you will always be,
But oh, I long to touch the baby I will never see.

The Strength You Gave Me
- By Daniel Kerr
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 2011 with permission of the Author.
My wife and I had our beautiful baby girl, Lexi, on September 2, 2011. We were told something was wrong with her, but no one was sure exactly what. That night we were told that she would be dead within 15 minutes. Lexi had other plans and fought hard for 19 days. My wife and I wanted to share her strength with the world and we often updated our friends and wider community through Facebook. This helped us to cope better with Lexi's illness and has helped us feel supported in her death.

Poem By Father Of Dead Baby

in Baby Death Poems

They tell me it's amazing how I've stayed so strong,
but they don't see how I cry when I hear your song.
They see the smile on my face but miss the hurt in my eye.
I would rather seem rude than let them see me cry.

They tell me it's amazing how I've stayed so strong,
but they don't see how I cry when I hear your song.
They see the smile on my face but miss the hurt in my eye.
I would rather seem rude than let them see me cry.
I put on this front as I don't want the world to see
the pain and sorrow so deep inside me.

I don't act this way 'cause I'm ashamed to feel the way I do.
I act this way in honour of you,
because although I hurt right now and my heart is broken,
I can't help but feel pride and love when your name is spoken.
My strength comes from the love you gave to me,
and it's that strength I want the world to see.

I will always love and miss you;
that I will never hide,
and when people ask me about my daughter,
they will always see my pride.
You were so precious and your memory will always live on.
I'll never be sad that I had you, only that you're gone.

My tears are not a sign of my weakness;
they are a sign of the love I have inside.
They will always fall down my cheeks
when I think of you with pride.
They say it takes a real man to admit when he is sad,
but how can I be sad when I look at the daughter that I had?
I will always have the memories of my little girl,
and you will always be my world.
Always remember you gave me this strength and that
you will always be your daddy's little girl!!!

Two Angels In The Sky
- By Wendy Damilowski
- Published by Family Friend Poems September 2011 with permission of the Author.
This poem is about recurrent miscarriages. I have lost two pregnancies (babies) in the first trimester. One at 6 1/2 weeks in January 2007 and the most recent one at 9 1/2 weeks on June 29, 2010. I hope my poem can give grieving mothers like myself an insight on healing and know that we are not alone. This heartache we have never goes away, but only time can ease our pain.

How To Grieve After A Miscarriage

in Miscarriage Poems

Twinkle, twinkle,
Big bright star.

My precious babies,

Twinkle, twinkle,
Big bright star.

My precious babies,
You're not so far.

When I am sad and
feeling so alone,

I close my eyes and know
you are in Heaven's home.

Every day my heart aches for you.
How do I heal? I don't know what to do.

Why? I just don't understand.
Anticipation, love, so many future plans.

You were gone before I knew.
Each day is a struggle for me to get through.

Oh, my angels in the bright blue sky
Mommy and Daddy love you, and tears we always cry.

My babies are now heaven's angels so blessed and true.
Only God knew the plans he had for you.

I'll Remember You
- By Cassi
- Published by Family Friend Poems July 2011 with permission of the Author.
I found out on my husband's birthday that our 11 week old little bean had passed away. I went in for my routine doctor appointment and ultrasound. The baby measured perfectly to its gestational age but no longer had a heartbeat. Not only was it my husband's birthday but he was deployed to Afghanistan and all he had asked for was me to email him a picture of the ultrasound.

in Miscarriage Poems

Would you wear pink or would you wear blue?
I'll never know
or hear your sweet coo
or see those tiny little fingers,

Would you wear pink or would you wear blue?
I'll never know
or hear your sweet coo
or see those tiny little fingers,
how the thoughts of you just linger.

Does the pain ever end?
Where do I begin to mend
this broken heart
from the all pain it has felt?

All I can ask is why?
Why were you given wings to fly
When you had feet to walk,
And a sweet little mouth to one day talk?

How I still feel you,
knowing there is nothing else I can do.
But just remember
How once, you were you!

A Letter To My Unborn Child
- By Kaitlyn
- Published by Family Friend Poems January 2011 with permission of the Author.
The loss of my unborn child is the worst pain I have ever felt in my life. By writing this poem, it helped me relieve some grief that was bottled inside. I came to this website in hopes of finding something that I can relate to, and I hope that my poem can help someone out there understand that they are not alone.

in Miscarriage Poems

So quickly you came into our lives,
So quickly torn away.
Never got the chance to meet you.
There's so much I want to say.

So quickly you came into our lives,
So quickly torn away.
Never got the chance to meet you.
There's so much I want to say.

Where there once was joy and happiness,
Now there's sadness, guilt, and pain.
All these thoughts running through my head,
It's enough to drive me insane.

Though you lived only eight short weeks,
You were loved so very much.
I wish that I could hold you.
I long to feel your touch.

On that fateful night,
My world was ripped from under my feet.
I pray that in another life
We get the chance to meet.

I Did Not Expect This
- By Carola

My first pregnancy just ended with a natural miscarriage at 8 weeks. The doctors, my friends and my family are all trying to provide support. They keep telling me that there was nothing I could do because it is a natural thing that just happens. It is so hard for me to accept that.

in Miscarriage Poems

This is natural, they say.
It is all for the best.
I cannot move past this heartache,
This pain in my chest.

This is natural, they say.
It is all for the best.
I cannot move past this heartache,
This pain in my chest.

Those days were surreal.
Did this truly just occur?
Happiness turned to sorrow
My life now a blur.

This is natural, they say.
I knew I was going to lose you.
The most difficult emotion.
There was nothing I could do.

I am given no explanation.
This is natural, they say.
Were you pink or were you blue.
My complexion is now grey.

Trying to move on,
A forward step every day.
I will always remember you.
This is natural, they say.

Poem Not Understanding Why Son Was Taken

in Miscarriage Poems

I'm sitting here mystified and numbed with pain
To lose someone so close, yet so far away.
Some say you can't lose something you never had.
If that's true, then how can I feel this sad?

I'm sitting here mystified and numbed with pain
To lose someone so close, yet so far away.
Some say you can't lose something you never had.
If that's true, then how can I feel this sad?
I felt closer to you, my child
More than anyone else around me
Because I felt you so deep within me.
So small, no eye could see
Yet so full of life was felt already.
Disbelief and uncertainty consume my brain
As the tears fall like rain.
Heart pounding hard, feels like thunder.
The sorrow and anguish down under just can't be explained.
Was I being punished for a sin I committed?
Was I to learn something from this and just didn't get it?
Please God, answer me... what did I do to deserve this?
Does he know how much I love him?
'Cause it's your job now to tell him!
I already miss him... I'd do anything to kiss him...
To hold him and embrace the mere presence of him.
I can only hope for one of these days
He comes back to me, this time to stay.
To find it deep within his heart
To give me the chance for a brand new start!

Dedicated to my unborn child, 2006

A Poem For The Child I Never Got To Meet

in Baby Death Poems

I never got to see your eyes
or hold your hand or hear your cries.
All I have are dreams of you,
those of which will never come true.

I never got to see your eyes
or hold your hand or hear your cries.
All I have are dreams of you,
those of which will never come true.
My heart sank the day that I knew
I would never get to meet you.
I had made plans and had aspirations.
If only I had a little more patience.
I never thought the Lord would take you
away from me so soon.
But I'll never forget that dismal day,
around two in the afternoon.
The day I knew something was not right,
and through many tears I would have to fight.
Now, all I do is dream every night
about what life would have been like.
What if you really had been born?
But all we have are dreams of that,
and all we can do is mourn.
We will not mourn for you though,
because we know you're where you need to be,
even though it isn't here with me.
You are my angel baby because God wanted you with Him.
Now, forever with his angels, His praises you will sing.
None of my dreams for you will ever come true,
because of that day God chose to take you.
But, my angel baby, you will always be
in my heart forever, forever a part of me.

I wrote this October 30th - 7 1/2 weeks since I lost my baby. I feel like I've come along since then, but I have my days that I still feel like this.

in Baby Death Poems

The hills, the valleys
and the bends.
Going up and down each day,
wondering if my heart will mend.

The hills, the valleys
and the bends.
Going up and down each day,
wondering if my heart will mend.

Sure, the pain will lessen
and I'll genuinely smile once more,
but the emptiness will stay
and my heart will forever be sore.

You were all I ever wanted,
and now you'll never be.
You were going to be my future;
now that has ceased for me.

I can't help this feeling
of feeling so alone,
but I just can't talk about it.
I don't want to be a moan.

So I'll keep writing
and talking to you in my mind.
Until we meet one day
and then true joy I will find.

I'm not saying
it's going to be soon,
even if it's years from now,
my joy will be over the moon.

Four Words
- By Sue Morton
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2009 with permission of the Author.
After 5 years of trying I finally got pregnant the beginning of June 2008 . I was ecstatic. My mum passed away June 10, 2007 so I thought this was her final gift to me, as she always wanted to be a grandmother. As of September 11 (what a great date already), I lost my precious gift.
I know everything happens for a reason. I know there is sunshine at the end of this rainstorm, but it sure doesn't feel like it right now.

in Baby Death Poems

Despair.
falling deeper & deeper each day.
wondering what else I'll lose
and wondering if it'll go away.

Despair.
falling deeper & deeper each day.
wondering what else I'll lose
and wondering if it'll go away.

Denial
It's something I sometimes feel.
that the pain I have inside
could not possibly be real.

Sadness.
Not something that disappears
despite what I wish for
I have never ending tears.

Blame.
That's what I often do
I will never forgive myself.
My heart's permanently broken in two.

These four simple words
to describe my feelings inside.
wishing I could crawl into myself
to stay forever and hide.

There are days I wonder
if these feelings will go.
If it's possible for me
to not feel so low.

It's time to say goodbye,
and we don't understand why.
Today is the day we lay

Everyone knows he was the best.
He was our miracle, our dream come true,
and we are here to comfort you.
Though today we say goodbye,
just remember he never really dies,
for in our hearts his spirit lies.
If he could talk, I know he'd say,
"Mommy, daddy, please don't cry,
for I am not gone; I'm flying high.
I'm that brand new twinkle in the sky.
I know one day I'll see you again,
and until then,
hold your heads up high,
and just remember I'm standing by,
for I'm the light of the moon
and the sunlight in the sky,
so please be strong, and it won't be long
till we're together again.
Love, your little man"

You went into the office
expecting the great news,
that your baby was secure,
growing in your womb.

You went into the office
expecting the great news,
that your baby was secure,
growing in your womb.
You didn't hear the heartbeat
and you didn't feel it move.
You ended up getting
the worst unexpected news.
Your child is in heaven,
an angel in the sky,
filled with joy and laughter
growing as time goes by.
Your life will go on.
The tears will come and go.
only time now
will heal your broken soul.

Pregnancy And Infant Loss Awareness Month - October - Page 2

Losing a baby isn't easy for anyone. Losing anybody isn't easy for anyone either. I am lost for words on what has happened with this pregnancy in the last couple months. All I can do is be strong.

This is third poem I am submitting about my beautiful daughter, Lexi, who passed away last year. I have never really written poems before she died, and I find it a way to express how I feel about my ongoing pain.

I have never really been able to express my feelings very well. In fact, I am usually as closed off to the world about my feelings as a giant rock. However, since my daughter died, I can't stop writing these poems, and I want to share with the world the love I have for my beautiful baby girl.

I had a miscarriage at 16 weeks with my first pregnancy.

The story behind my poem is the story of my own loss and sadness as a mother losing her child and also about how through this pain I gained wisdom and inner strength. My little baby was a very special gift to my life.

My first pregnancy just ended with a natural miscarriage at 8 weeks. The doctors, my friends and my family are all trying to provide support. They keep telling me that there was nothing I could do because it is a natural thing that just happens. It is so hard for me to accept that.

Dedicated to my unborn child, 2006.

This is a poem I made about my triplet miscarriage I had 4 weeks ago. I was pregnant with triplets but lost them at 16 weeks.

I wrote this October 30th - 7 1/2 weeks since I lost my baby. I feel like I've come along since then, but I have my days that I still feel like this.
