Baby Loss Poems
An Angel from the Book of Life
Wrote down my baby's birth,
And whispered as she closed the book
"Too Beautiful for Earth"
Wrote down my baby's birth,
And whispered as she closed the book
"Too Beautiful for Earth"
Precious, tiny, sweet little one
You will always be to me So perfect, pure and innocent Just as you were meant to be. We dreamed of you and your life And all that it would be We waited and longed for you to come And join our family. But now you're gone... but yet you're here We'll sense you everywhere You are our sorrow and our joy There's love in every tear. Just know our love goes deep and strong We'll forget you never- The child we had, but never had, And yet will have forever. Empty arms and an empty heart,
My life feels so torn apart. It's not fair, she should be here, ...Oh no there goes another tear. I never got to say goodbye, Why oh why did she have to die? Time has passed, what I wouldn't give, Just to see my daughter live, A minute, a hour or just one day, I'd give up anything if she could stay. Maybe I prayed too much or not enough, Living in pain is just so tough. There are no words that can be spoken, To fix my heart it's already broken. Kindness from a stranger, a hug from a friend, The love of my family, the pain doesn't end. I'll miss her grow, I'll miss her play, Maybe I deserve to feel this way. Nothing to do, nothing can be changed, Living without her, I feel deranged. Racing thoughts my faith deceiving, It's been a while but I'm still grieving. Angels from heaven are occasionally sent
But never awake its the way that its meant They are given to parents who have shown there worth But are taken away afore moment of birth It isn't a cruel or meaningless act ...Its written in stars its an heavenly pact These angels born sleeping are chosen this way To prepare heavens gardens for all children to play God bless mum and dad who are left sore of heart For the love that was given will never depart. You'll rejoice once again when your time on earth ends As you meet there in heaven your broken heart mends. REMEMBERING
Go ahead and mention my child. The one that died, you know. Don't worry about hurting me further. The depth of my pain doesn't show. Don't worry about making me cry. I'm already crying inside. Help me to heal by releasing The tears that I try to hide. I'm hurt when you just keep silent, Pretending he didn't exist. I'd rather you mention my child, Knowing that he has been missed. You asked me how I was doing. I say "pretty good" or "fine". But healing is something ongoing. I feel it will take a lifetime. by Elizabeth Dent We are connected, My child and I,
by an invisible cord, not seen by the eye. It's not like the cord that connects us 'til birth This cord can't be seen by any on Earth. This cord does its work right from the start. It binds us together, attatched to my heart. I know that it's there, though no one can see, The invisible cord from my child to me. The strength of this cord is hard to describe. It can't be destroyed, it can't be denied. It's stronger than any cord man could create, It withstands the test, can hold any weight. And though you are gone, Though you are not here with me, The cord is still there, but no one can see. It pulls at my heart, I am bruised...I am sore, But this cord is my lifeline, as never before. I am thankful that God connects us this way, A mother and child--Death can't take it away! I'm going to tell you something
I hope you'll never have to know. I'll tell you how a heart can break And tears can constant flow. I lost my baby girl you see, An angel in my eyes God chose to take her hand one day And led her to the skies. But please do not forget my child She was a person too And forever she will live Inside of me and you. So, please don't ever tell me That time will heal my pain Because not even time Can bring her back again. Just tell me she is happy In that land way up above She's snuggled in an angels wings All wrapped in Mommy's love |
They say there is a reason,
They say that time will heal, But neither time nor reason, Will change the way I feel, For no-one knows the heartache, ,..That lies behind our smiles, No-one knows how many times, We have broken down and cried, We want to tell you something, So there won't be any doubt, You're so wonderful to think of, But so hard to be without. I'm just a precious little one who didn`t make it there.
I went straight to be with Jesus, but I`m waiting for you here. Many dwelling here where I live, waited years to enter in. ...Struggled through a world of sorow, a world marred with pain and sin. Thank you for the life you gave me, it was brief but don`t complain. I have all Heaven`s Glory, suffered none of earth`s great pain. Thank you for the name you gave me. I`d have loved to bring it fame. But if I`d lingered in earth`s shadows, I would have suffered just the same. So sweet family - don`t you sorrow. Wipe those tears and chase the gloom. I went straight to Jesus` arms from my loving Mother`s womb. What Makes A Mother
I thought of you and closed my eyes And prayed to God today. I asked what makes a Mother And I know I heard him say. A Mother has a baby This we know is true. But God, can you be a Mother When your baby's not with you? Yes, you can He replied With confidence in His voice I give many women babies When they leave is not their choice. Some I send for a lifetime And others for a day. And some I send to filll the womb But there's no need to stay. I just don't understand this, God I want my baby here He took a breath and cleared His throat And then I saw a tear. I wish I could show you What your child is doing today. If you could see your child smile With other children and say "We go to earth and learn our lessons Of love and life and fear. My Mommy loved me oh so much I got to come straight here. I feel so lucky to have a Mom Who had so much love for me I learned my lesson very quickly My Mommy set me free. I miss my Mommy oh so much But I visit her each day. When she goes to sleep On her pillow is where I lay. I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek And whisper in her ear "Mommy don't be sad today I'm your baby and I'm here." So you see my dear sweet one Your children are OK Your babies are here in My home And this is where they'll stay. They'll wait for you with me Until your lesson is through And on the day that you come home They'll be at the gates for you. So now you see what makes a Mother It's the feeling in your heart. It's the love you had so much of Right from the very start!!! An Angel Never Dies
Don’t let them say I wasn’t born, That something stopped my heart I felt each tender squeeze you gave, I’ve loved you from the start. Although my body you can’t hold It doesn’t mean I’m gone This world was worthy, not of me God chose that I move on. I know the pain that drowns your soul, What you are forced to face You have my word, I’ll fill your arms, Someday we will embrace. You’ll hear that it was meant to be, God doesn’t make mistakes But that wont soften your worst blow, Or make your heart not ache. I’m watching over all you do, Another child you’ll bear Believe me when I say to you, That I am always there. There will come a time, I promise you, When you will hold my hand, Stroke my face and kiss my lips And then you’ll understand. Although I’ve never breathed your air, Or gazed into your eyes That doesn’t mean I never was, An Angel never dies. |
