To the child in my heart...

Oh precious, tiny, sweet little one,
You will always be to me,
So perfect, pure and innocent,
Just as you were meant to be.

We dreamed of you and your life,
And all that it would be.
We waited and longed for you to come
And join our family.

We never had the chance to play,
To laugh, to rock, to wiggle.
We long to hold you touch you now,
And listen to you giggle.

I'll always be your mother,
He'll always be your dad.
You will always be our child,
The child that we had.

But now your gone... but yet your here,
We'll sense you everywhere.
You are our sorrow and our joy,
There's love in every tear.

Just know our love goes deep and strong.
We'll forget you never.
The child we had, but never had,
And yet we'll have forever.


We miss you, our little angel,
You will never be forgotten.



"Sadly, many of us who have suffered an early pregnancy loss reminisce alone. ... While others are for years mindful of the babies lost late in pregnancy or shortly after birth, they tend to forget the ones we lost early. Seemingly, they do not care and have no idea we continue to remember. But the Lord cares, and He remembers. That little baby was wonderfully knitted together in our womb by His hands, and just as He cares when a sparrow falls, certainly He felt our sorrow when our baby died. Never be ashamed or embarrassed to express your sadness for the baby you miscarried nor tell yourself that your loss was insignificant and statistically common. That was your little baby whom you loved, cared for, and lived inside you. No matter how short a time you were privileged to carry that living being, it was your sweet child. Remember, a baby is a baby, and no life is too small."
