1. For My Little One
I never saw your twinkling eyes
Or touched your precious feet.
I never shared a tiny yawn
Or rocked you fast asleep.
One of life's most painful losses is that of an unborn child. Miscarriages cause a pain that is unfamiliar to most and understood by few. Parents feel a strong and natural love for their unborn child and to lose their little one to death before they ever had a chance at life can seem unfair, cruel even. Parents are left to wonder what might have been and a pair of empty arms can seem emptier than ever before. Faced with such a terrible situation parents should remember that it is normal, necessary, and healthy to grieve.
I never saw your twinkling eyes
Or touched your precious feet.
I never shared a tiny yawn
Or rocked you fast asleep.
This poem is everything I've been thinking but unable to say. I was a young mother. I'm 16 and I lost my baby. When I started bleeding they told me everything was fine. They told me my baby...

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.
I got married in July and my husband and I were surprised when found that I was pregnant 3 months later. We were over the moon at how lucky we had been to fall pregnant so soon. However, our...

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?
My eldest son came with his arm held high to the sky. His identical twin brother came with him, modest and his hand holding his mamma's thigh. They were born a miracle at 23 weeks gestation....
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.
I fell pregnant in 2012. I had the two lines come up on the test. I was excited but my partner (now ex) wasn't. He said he would throw me down stairs to make sure the baby doesn't survive. I...
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.
I found out I was pregnant with our 6th child very early on, the day my period was due. We had been trying for a boy. At 12 weeks, I found out through chromosome testing that this would be...
Would you wear pink or would you wear blue?
I'll never know
or hear your sweet coo
or see those tiny little fingers,
1/1/2017 was the day we lost you. After bleeding for almost a week and a hospital visit, they said you were fine. Mommy knew, daddy didn't want to believe me. Your two older sisters always...
Your first Christmas came without you.
You're the unopened secret screams.
We carry you in our broken hearts all day
Please don't cry, I am here.
Just look around; I am very near.
I am the prettiest butterfly
exploring the day.
Don't ever let someone blame you for the loss of your child. There is no reason to take the blame. Sounds like you are better off without him in your life, and the same as his mother. Don't...
I never got to hold you,
Or kiss your little head,
Or watch you sleeping soundly
All snuggled in your bed.
Cole was a full-term baby. He died hours after birth. We held him for hours, passing him around. We knew he wouldn't live long, so we talked to him, telling him how much we loved him. After 4...
This is natural, they say.
It is all for the best.
I cannot move past this heartache,
This pain in my chest.
Your poem truly touched my heart. I am 19, and I have lost three babies. One when I was 18 and two this year. I was six weeks along with all three. I was scared but so excited when I found...
My baby's in heaven,
but that's okay.
There she'll be safe
every second of every single day.
My body is still birthing,
But nothing is to show.
The little life that was to be
Left my body days ago.
I've had 2 miscarriages...one at 8 weeks and one at 12. I'm still grieving. I agree, it is a very lonely process. It's been 2 years since my first one. The pain subsides but never fully goes...
It started with a hook up.
And than the plus sign appeared.
Your daddy told me to take care of it.
I did as he told.
This exact same thing happened to me. It's kind of scary how similar this poem is to what happened to me. At 21 weeks I went into labor with my baby girl and she died shortly after I gave...
What we call miscarriage,
Is hard to understand,
but God calls special babies
back with Him in Heaven's land.
I will never get to hold you,
To keep you warm and safe.
Never see your eyes twinkle,
My boyfriend and I also had a miscarriage about 6 months ago and I am still in pain over our loss. I am 15 as well, and so reading this poem touched me very dearly. This poem is beautiful and...
They say that time's a great healer,
But I don't think that's true.
My heart's been aching so, so much
Since the day that I lost you.
I also had a beautiful baby girl who I had at 25 weeks and 5 days. She lived for 2 days. I'll never get over losing my princess. I had a little boy, so all I wanted was a little girl. She...
You went into the office
expecting the great news,
that your baby was secure,
growing in your womb.
I am 17 and was pregnant 3 years ago. I was young and came from an abusive family. I was scared of telling anyone, because my parents might beat me. I was 40 pounds underweight, and I was the...
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.
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.
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 am sorry for her loss. Yes, I do hope this helped!
