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

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
