Pregnancy And Infant Loss Awareness Month - October - Page 2

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.

Grandpa
- By Lisa D. Jessie
- Published by Family Friend Poems July 2018 with permission of the Author.
We lost our grandson after birth in January 2018. He had a disease, and we knew we'd lose him. It affected his organs and took one of his legs. My husband has been struggling with this. In efforts to comfort him in any way I could, I wrote this poem for him. My husband's grandpa passed away many years ago, and he always says that he just wishes he had one more day with him. I know my husband knows that his grandfather is with his grandson in heaven, but he still struggles with this loss every single day.

The Loss Of A Grandson

in Baby Death Poems

Dear Grandpa,

I don't want you to worry about me.
This was the plan from the very first day.

Dear Grandpa,

I don't want you to worry about me.
This was the plan from the very first day.
God told me to trust him, you see,
To believe and trust his way.

When Mommy told you about me,
I saw that sadness in your eyes,
What to feel or how to be.
Yes, Grandpa, I heard your cries.

I know that this was hard for you,
And I saw you on your knees,
Praying for a miracle to come true.
Your heart was on your sleeve.

I heard you scream to Jesus why,
Blaming him for losing me.
I'll always be your grandson,
And my grandpa you'll always be.

I found comfort in your arms
And the love you had for me.
I'm not far from where you are.
In your heart I'll always be.

Heaven is really a peaceful place.
I'll meet you again one day.
Keep your faith and always pray.
Know Jesus and trust his way.

I felt you hold my hand that day
And say your I love you's.
Up here, Grandpa, I can run and play.
Close your eyes, you'll see me, too.

The day I left this life to be
In heaven with someone new.,
Not only Jesus Christ, you see.
I met your grandpa, too.

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!

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!

There's not a day that goes by that I'm not thinking about my sweet baby.

in Miscarriage Poems

My baby's in heaven,
but that's okay.
There she'll be safe
every second of every single day.

My baby's in heaven,
but that's okay.
There she'll be safe
every second of every single day.
She'll never ever scream
or ever have a scary dream.
She'll be surrounded by love,
and that's all my baby needs.
She'll never hurt, never cry
and never have to say goodbye.
And baby, I promise you
that the day that I die
I will come up to meet you
and I will never leave your side.

Poem About Coping With Miscarriage

in Miscarriage Poems

I will never get to hold you,
To keep you warm and safe.

Never see your eyes twinkle,

I will never get to hold you,
To keep you warm and safe.

Never see your eyes twinkle,
A smile upon your face.

You're gone but not forgotten.
Never born but always here.

In every ray of sunshine,
In every rain drop tear.

I promise I will never forget you.
You gave me so much hope,

But now I need to let you go
So that I can start to cope.

Poem For Niece Whose Baby Died

in Baby Death Poems

Heart full of joy and excitement
To meet you face to face.
Months of waiting and anticipating
To give you my soft embrace.

Heart full of joy and excitement
To meet you face to face.
Months of waiting and anticipating
To give you my soft embrace.

Amazed at God's blessed marvel,
I watched in wonder as you grew.
For nine months you were my daily miracle,
Every move I felt, sparked a love so new.

Now my little one lies here with me,
In a deep slumber she'll forever be.
Pretty eyes I'll never be able to see,
Nor hear her voice be filled with glee.

My heart is in grief; it feels so empty.
The reason you're gone is still a mystery.
You are my beautiful little angel.
Most treasured but not meant to be with me.

Rest now, my beautiful little angel...
You are loved and you will be missed.
Forever in our heart is where you'll stay,
Until we see you again someday.

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.

Hills & Valleys

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.

Six years ago mummy had to kiss you goodbye

I have a friend who has been having trouble with pregnancies. She was excited about making it past her first trimester. At her 19 week check-up, the doctor didn't find a heartbeat. After exams and tests, the doctor believed the baby stopped breathing about a week after her 16 week check-up. My friend went in to induce labor and deliver her baby boy who died inside her womb.

Poem Saying Goodbye To Unborn Son

in Baby Death Poems

There are no words to say but, "I love you,"
For I've shed tears to not have heard you coo.

A mother's joy turned to grief in a moment so fast,

There are no words to say but, "I love you,"
For I've shed tears to not have heard you coo.

A mother's joy turned to grief in a moment so fast,
Hard to bear that your heartbeat had passed.

Instead of Heaven sent, you were sent to Heaven to be;
You're another guardian angel to watch over me.

I was blessed enough to hold you so dear.
I will try and fight all emotions of shedding a tear.

Baby boy, baby boy, just know,
You will always be loved; you'll see my tears flow.

I must admit I don't agree of what plan
God had for you and me.

I shall not be angry or fall apart;
Please just know I love you with all my heart.

I'll see you someday in the future not so near,
'Til then, baby boy, I'll love you from here.

We Never Got To Meet You

in Miscarriage Poems

We were so excited to meet you
And be a family of four.
You were to be our second baby,
Who we would cherish and adore.

We were so excited to meet you
And be a family of four.
You were to be our second baby,
Who we would cherish and adore.

But you were taken from us,
Your heartbeat was no longer there.
Our hearts are forever broken,
Because this life can be so cruel and unfair.

Our arms never wrapped around you.
Our eyes never met hello.
We never got the chance to meet you;
Our hearts feel so empty and so low.

But forever in our hearts you will be.
We will long for your cuddle and touch.
Always remember, our sweet Angel,
Mummy and Daddy will always love you so much.

Poem About God's Special Angel

in Baby Death Poems

Tiny angel, baby girl
Spread your wings and fly.
God picked you as his special angel,
Up there in the sky.

Tiny angel, baby girl
Spread your wings and fly.
God picked you as his special angel,
Up there in the sky.

Your mum and I are very sorry
For all that you went through.
I am forever devastated that
We never got to meet you.

We missed seeing your little smile,
Your little eyes and nose.
We missed holding your tiny hands
And tickling your little toes.

We thought we would get to share
Good times, laughter and fun,
But sadly you were taken from us
Before your life had begun.

I will think of you every single day,
And I know your mum will too.
And we will keep you close to our heart
In everything we do.

So whenever I see a beautiful rainbow
High up in the sky
Or in the garden when I see
A graceful butterfly flutter by,

I'll think of you, my little one
'Cause you will always be
Forever in our hearts
For your beautiful mummy and me.

I will look to the sky on a starry night
And search for the brightest star,
As I will know that will be you
Shining down on us from afar.

Tiny angel, baby girl
Mummy and Daddy want you to know
That you mean the world to us.
We love you forever so.

After the miscarriage of our baby, I had to find a way to help ease the pain we were experiencing. Putting it in words seemed to be a way of letting our baby know that we were sorry for what happened and that we loved him or her.

Poem About The Loss Of An Unborn Baby

in Miscarriage Poems

As you lied so helpless in the womb,
We patiently awaited your day of bloom.
A boy, a girl, we had not a clue,
We'd love no matter what, and this we knew.

As you lied so helpless in the womb,
We patiently awaited your day of bloom.
A boy, a girl, we had not a clue,
We'd love no matter what, and this we knew.

Blankets and booties were chosen with care.
We dreamed the day we'd have you to share.
Anxious to hear your first little cry
And feel the breath of your peaceful sigh.

To watch your eyes discover new sights,
To cuddle you close on sleepless nights.
Why, our Baby, did God change our plan?
Only He and you will understand.

The emptiness here has left us numb.
The sound of your cry will never come.
Never to hold your tiny hands,
Never to watch you try to stand.

Silently we packaged all your stuff,
The tears we shed were far from enough.
To most, your existence soon will fade,
But forever, to us, you'll be OUR BABE.

So many hearts you've surely touched.

Now we lay you down to sleep.
Our baby boy's soul to keep.
We pray you feel how much you're loved.
So many hearts you've surely touched.

You've had our hearts from day one.
A blessing above to be given a son.
I'd hoped to cradle you and rock you fast asleep,
Holding you so close feeling every single heartbeat.

To hear your first sweet words or watch that first step,
Playing peek-a-boo with you, our hearts would surely melt.
For this is not goodbye; God has promised this to me.
You will always be our baby, and in our hearts you'll always be.

For our sweet baby boy, today you've gained your wings.
As we hand you back to God, we can hear those angels sing.
Heaven will be waiting for you, and until that day you greet us,
Our baby you'll always be; letting go unto the arms of Jesus.

I'm Waiting For You
- By Emily B. Judisch
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2019 with permission of the Author.
This past fall I had a miscarriage. While I try every day to find reason or to justify it being for the best, I can't seem to find closure. I've set my life in a tail spin trying to get pregnant again, thinking that will fill the hole I can't seem to fill otherwise. After you have a miscarriage, you find out it's super common, but no one wants to talk about it. They might ask how you are, but no one wants the real answer. So I put some of those feelings into this poem.

Difficulty After A Miscarriage

in Miscarriage Poems

At one time, I thought you were near,
A feeling so abundantly strong and clear.
Inside me you grew and grew,
I was impatient waiting for you.

At one time, I thought you were near,
A feeling so abundantly strong and clear.
Inside me you grew and grew,
I was impatient waiting for you.

With my hand on my stomach, I'd feel our connection.
Every moment of my day, you had my attention.
In me was a pride I never knew.
My love had no bounds, waiting for you.

You stole my heart before we even met,
Though you were my reason to fret.
You were my dream I never thought would come true,
You were my every smile while I was waited for you.

I couldn't wait to hear your heartbeat,
My little almond, you were so sweet.
But when the time came, it was a reality I couldn't chew.
They told me I was no longer waiting for you.

I said goodbye the best I could.
You were gone from me, for good.
My body felt empty, my heart felt blue.
I only wanted to keep waiting for you.

I want to move on with my life,
To say it's okay to just be a wife.
But a mother I want to be, too.
That is why I'll keep waiting for you.

I love you, my baby,
And I know our future isn't just a maybe.
So you need to know the thing most true,
That forever I'm waiting for you.

Gone But Not Forgotten
- By Timothy Halliday

I lost a baby due to stillbirth. One moment my world was full of anticipation and hope...the next it fell to pieces. I fell into a deep black hole. This is a tribute to him.

Loss Due To Stillbirth

in Baby Death Poems

You were a ripple on a glass-like pond,
Just a moment in time; it's hard to respond.

A wave crashing onto an empty beach,

You were a ripple on a glass-like pond,
Just a moment in time; it's hard to respond.

A wave crashing onto an empty beach,
I went to talk, but I've lost all speech.

A whisper in the winter night's air.
How can this be true, how can this be fair?

You were meant to live; this just feels rotten.
You're gone now, but you're not forgotten.

A ray of sunshine through darkened clouds.
The silence is deafening amidst the crowds.

The sound of a bee on a summer's day,
You were here for a moment, but then you went away.

I keep you in my heart like a trap I'm caught in.
You're gone now, but you're not forgotten.

I will love you always, you have to know.
You were so small, no time to grow.

You were here for a moment, and then you were gone.
It's hard to move forward; it's hard to go on.

I remember you still; I wrapped you in cotton.
You're gone now, but you're not forgotten.

I want to shout, and I still want to scream.
I want to wake up out of this terrible dream.

Your beauty took my breath away.
I wish you could still be here; I wish you could stay.

I'm meant to move on; I'm meant to climb,
But how do I move past that brief moment in time?

There's only one thought when I remember you now.
The promise I made, I remember my vow.

I know what I told you; I'd love you forever.
You're gone now, but forget you? Never!!

So remember please my only begotten.
You're gone now, but you're not forgotten...

Sadness And Healing After Loss Of An Unborn Baby

in Miscarriage Poems

I only had you for a little while.
I was never able to see your smiles,
Yet I thank God for the little time we had,
Even though when you left, I was sad.

I only had you for a little while.
I was never able to see your smiles,
Yet I thank God for the little time we had,
Even though when you left, I was sad.

You were so precious and small, little ones.
I wouldn't have cared if you were daughters or sons.
I held you within my womb, though not for long.
I was so happy to be your mom.

But God was ready for you to go,
Even though I wanted to see you so.
You died, little ones, within my womb,
And your enclosures of life became a tomb.

I was never able to name you.
I was never able to hold you.
I was never able to feel you breathe.
I was never able to give you the love you need.

I was never able to say goodbye.
Just thinking about it makes me cry,
But you are still a part of our family,
And we all love you; siblings, daddy and me.

I await the day when I shall see you again,
When my life ends, and the others sing requiem.
I pray I'll be in heaven, and there I'll come see you,
Where you, my little angels, play under skies so blue.

The birth was such a special day
And will be forever in my heart.
The untimely death of my son
Has torn my world apart.

He only lived a few short days,
And those days were just the best.
When I see a child, I think of him
And know we did what's best.

I hold this locket in my hand
And thank God above
For giving me a chance to know
This child made out of love.

This locket still reminds me
Of his short time here on earth.
I keep it close, next to my heart,
To ease some pain and hurt.

Those precious moments of happiness
Turned into days of joy.
I feel it keeps me connected
To the memories of my little boy.

I held him tightly in my arms
As he took his final breath.
This locket helps me honor him
Even in his death.

Pregnancy And Infant Loss Awareness Month - October - Page 2

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.

There's not a day that goes by that I'm not thinking about my sweet baby.

I have suffered two miscarriages and am finally starting to heal and see a way forward!

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 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.

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.

We lost out baby boy at 16 weeks pregnant. I didn't know anything was wrong until I went for a check-up and my doctor couldn't find his heartbeat. Our hearts have been forever broken since that day...miss you, Little Babe. Love, Mummy, Daddy and your Big Brother Ryder

My friends lost their baby just before her birth. This poem is for them and for all the other parents who have carried their babies but God had other plans for their little ones.

After the miscarriage of our baby, I had to find a way to help ease the pain we were experiencing. Putting it in words seemed to be a way of letting our baby know that we were sorry for what happened and that we loved him or her.

I lost a baby due to stillbirth. One moment my world was full of anticipation and hope...the next it fell to pieces. I fell into a deep black hole. This is a tribute to him.

This poem was written many years after suffering the loss of my son.
