Waiting For Us


You came into our lives
 and then you left just as quick
I felt you inside if me for so long
 Now that seems like some cruel trick

I gave birth to a child
 yet I couldn't bring her home
Some sick joke being played
 by an evil spirit, demon, or knome

We had been expecting you,
 had been awaiting your arrival
But I had failed in giving you
 what you needed for survival

I feel like it's my fault
 like I wasn't strong enough...
to bring you to this Earth
 and keep you here with us

My arms and womb felt so empty
 I had never felt that before
I asked Them to take away the hurt
 didn't want to feel it anymore

No matter how hard I begged
 or how much I cried
It didn't bring you back
 I thought it was me who had died

Why must I learn this lesson?
 Why must I feel this pain?
I would have gladly given my life
 if only yours They would sustain

Now another birthday has passed
 Daddy and I went to see you
I wondered what you would be like
 as the agony passed through

I picture you with the angels
 Maybe a beautiful Faerie or Goddess
She dances you around with love
 and wears a long flowing white dress

You are waiting for us to get there
 so that our family may be complete
We will not let you down....
 We do not accept defeat

I will hold my baby one day
 in my own loving arms
and we will all be so happy
 in a place nothing can bring us harm

I miss you more everyday
 but this is not the end
I know in my heart someday
 we will be together again

(Written by: Rain Y Daze
Copywrited February 2003)

This poem is dedicated to my baby, Brooke Rain, whom I gave birth to in January of 1999. She lived for six short hours on this earth, but lives forever in my heart. To anyone who has ever lost a child, I am sorry for your pain. Blessed Be and please try to go forth from here, be assured that you will be with him/her again. Even so, my heart breaks for you and for the baby girl I lost so long ago. In my mind it still feels like yesterday. To anyone who has not lost a child, be thankful for every minute you have with them, they are precious gifts and can be taken away. This is something I learned the hard way and will never forget.
Love Always, Rain
