I just wanted to share these poems that I came across, I will add them to the poem section later.

Angel of my tears

How do you love a person
Who never got to be,
Or try again to see a face
You never got to see?
How do you mourn the death of one
Who never got to live,
When there's nothing to feel good about
And nothing to forgive?
I love you, little son,
You're a person of the wind,
Free to be the memory
Of all that might have been.
I love you, little son,
My companion of the night,
Wandering through my lonely hours,
Beautiful and bright.
What does it mean to die before
You ever can be born,
To live the lovely night of life
And never see the dawn?
Ah! My little son,
You lived like anyone!
Life's a burst of joy and pain,
An then, like yours, it's done.
I love you, little son
Just as if you'd lived for years.
No more, no less, I think of you,
The angel of my tears.

Just once

Just once I wish I could have spent a late hour rocking you in my arms.
Just once I wish I could have gently lain you in your crib.
I wish I could have changed a diaper, chosen an outfit for the day,
given you a bath, soothed your skin with lotion...
Just once I wish I could have heard you cry out
in loneliness for me, spent time alone with you.
Just the two of us, strolled you proudly through the shopping mall.
Just once I wish I could have heard the words:
"What a beautiful, healthy baby boy!!"
Just Once.

I think about you day and night and wonder "Why Me?",
I wanted you so very much my precious baby.
At least I had the chance to hold you and feel your touch.
And to tell you to remember Mommy loves you very much.
I know they say with time the pain will go away.
But my love and memories for you will always stay.
I wanted so much to hear you laugh and cry,
so many dreams have just passed me by.
I know I must let go and begin to move on,
but I don't know how to say goodbye...

Please don't tell them you never got to know me
It is I whose kicks you will always remember,
I who gave you heartburn that a dragon would envy.
I who couldn't seem to tell time and got your
days and nights mixed up.
It is I who acknowledged your craving for peach ice cream
by knocking the cold bowl off your belly.
I who went shopping and helped you pick out
the "perfect" teddy bear for me.
I who liked to be cradled in your belly
and rocked off to dreamy slumber by the fire.
It is I who never had a doubt about your love,
It is I who was able to put a lifetime of joy into an instant.

Take care
Jacqui

They're really beautiful Jacqui, thanks for sharing. While we're on the subject of poems, here's a little ditty I wrote to put in Trinitys album with her hand and footprints.

Hands, Feet and Hair

Your wee little feet,
that once jabbed my ribs,
now walk the soft carpets of heaven.

Your beautiful hands,
which I longed to grip my pinky,
now pick daisies in heaven.

Your soft brown hair,
that looked much like mine,
is now brushed by angels in heaven.

Your precious button nose,
which never breathed air,
now breaths the sweet scent of heaven.

Your cute little ears,
that only knew sounds from my womb,
now listen to the lullabies of heaven.

Your perfect little mouth,
that never let out a cry,
now blow kisses in heaven.

Your sweet angel eyes,
that we never got to see,
now look upon us from heaven.

Written by Amanda - Mummy of Trinity

That's such a beautiful poem Manda.
Normally when there is heartache in my life I write poems, but I have not yet been able to do this, I hope I will be able to soon.

Jacqui

They are lovely poems. I am the same as Jacqui I am finding it really difficult to express my self in words at the moment.

here is a poem I found for Jenson's funeral:

Angel Wings

A precious Angel slipped away
No one heard a cry
No time for Daddy and Mummy
To sing me lullabies
My time with you was much too short
I had to leave too soon
But love had joined us as I grew
Inside my Mummy's womb
It wove it's way into our hearts
In all our hopes and dreams
Until the very purest love
Became my tiny wings
Although I could not stay with you
I knew right from the start
That once you felt your Angel's love
You'd keep me in your hearts
I'm just a little Angel
But my time was not in vain
As dark clouds that surround you
Give way unto the Sun
My precious parents you will see
That any heart will sing
If only for a moment
It is brushed by Angel Wings

I love that one

What a beautiful poem, had me crying
Thank you for sharing

Jacqui

This was sent to me from my girls granny, she sent it in a Thank you card for the photo album i gave her on Thomas's memorial.

Those we love
Don't go away
They walk beside us
Every day
Unseen
Unheard but
Always near
Still loved
Still missed
Ever dear.

Oh Kim,
That is nice.
