Death of a loved one is always a cause for mourning. However, when a baby dies, there is a sadness that goes beyond normal grief. We are programmed to expect that the old outlive the young. When a person who has lived a full life passes away, there is a sense that everything is as it should be. When a baby passes, who has not even has the chance to experience life, his death seems meaningless. If he was meant to die so soon why did he even come into the world?

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,...

Are there rocking chairs in Heaven
where little babies go?
Do the angels hold you closely
and rock you to and fro?

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

Dear Grandpa,
I don't want you to worry about me.
This was the plan from the very first day.
This poem is sad. It’s very sad to lose someone, especially a child or grandchild, and things like that happen all the time. What makes it even sadder is being a mom, dad, grandpa, or...
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,
I lost my darling daughter on 3/5/1973, due to stillbirth. No certification to prove she ever existed, never got to see her, hold her, kiss or smell her, to tell her I loved her and how much...
Bought a cake on a Sunday
For my son's special day,
Brought flowers and a toy
All for my little boy....

Precious in your little frame, You danced into my heart.
And with the grace with which you came, With grace you did depart.
You held my finger in your hand, And with it held my soul.
I fell in love with those wide eyes, One kiss and I was whole. ...

My arms are so empty to hold you just once
Even now I have not cried all my tears
I miss you so much that I can not express
The only regret, is that I did not love you as soon as I knew...
I just lost my daughter in May due to Anencephaly. She was diagnosed with it in February. We decided to try to carry to term. She came at 34 weeks and stayed with us for 1 hour and 19 minutes.
My beautiful Hayley, one year old, how great you are to love and hold.
Your smile through your tears makes me cry too, because I don't want this happening to you.
You're an angel that hasn't done anything wrong and you're a baby that shouldn't have to be strong, but strong you are, as I can see.
When you can hardly breathe and you watch and laugh at children swinging from trees and you play peek-a-boo and smile at me,
My girls Patricia and Isabelle passed to be with The Lord different years. Patricia not so long ago in 2012 on the 4th march aged 10 & Isabelle on the 27th November 1998. I get thru my days...
I don't think it's fair
That we move on,
When the life I had inside me
Has come and gone!
