A personal journey through pregnancy and miscarriage. Winner of 2 contests. |
Something is different I can feel the change. It can’t be what I think it is, Not after all this time. We had just about given up hope, Just about decided It wasn't in the cards, We would never have a child. Sure enough it’s true The little stick turned blue There are no words It’s so surreal Happy and surprised By this unexpected treasure. We begin to talk and plan Of the many things we'll do, Our hopes and dreams for you. But just when it begins to seem real I can’t help but feel That things aren’t quite right. You are so small Too small for the big world But I hope and pray That you will stay. “Grow.” I whisper softly To the little life inside me. This is my prayer. My one request. There is so much for you to see So much to know. “Please grow.” I knew the truth Before the doctor came in There was nothing to say. So I went to the hospital And they took you away. But they'll never take my memory of you. Once for a little while I had a life inside me. A love so strong But you didn’t stay long. You died inside me But the love lives on. I’ll never forget The little baby I never met. |
