Reconciling feelings after a birth (or adoption) following a past miscarriage. |
MISSED Missed the joy Missed late nights Holding her, feeding her Missed being a mommy Missed carrying her Miscarriage Then you came, my miracle, my joy Found mother-work at last Cherished late nights, Holding you, feeding you No longer missing the sadness The desperation of empty arms Missed feeling you inside me Little kicks and turns Found I'm missing her less Knowing she lives in my heart Found gratitude for both That I didn't miss the chance To be a mother ********************************************************************************* Below is the original version found in a journal I kept around August 05. I found it this week (June 2) and thought I would put it here. Above is the revised version. MISSED Missed the joy Missed late nights Holding her, feeding her Missed being a mommy Missed carrying her Miscarriage Then you came My miracle, my joy Cherished late nights, Holding you, feeding you No missed sadness No missed desperation No more empty arms She is with me in my heart Missed, not forgotten, You are here in my arms Found, always thankful For making me a mother SWPoet |
