What Makes a Mother

I thought of you and closed my eyes
And prayed to God today
I asked "What makes a Mother?"
And I know I heard Him say.

"A Mother has a baby"
This we know is true
"But God can you be a Mother,
When your baby's not with you?"

"Yes, you can," He replied
With confidence in His voice
"I give many women babies,
When they leave is not their choice.

Some I send for a lifetime,
And others for the day.
And some I send to feel your womb,
But there's no need to stay."

"I just don't understand this God
I want my baby to be here."
He took a deep breath and cleared His throat,
And then I saw the tear.

"I wish I could show you,
What your child is doing today.
If you could see your child's smile,
With all the other children and say...

'We go to Earth to learn our lessons,
Of love and life and fear.
My Mommy loved me oh so much,
I got to come straight here.

I feel so lucky to have a Mom,
Who had so much love for me.
I learned my lessons very quickly,
My Mommy set me free.

I miss my Mommy oh so much,
But I visit her every day.
When she goes to sleep,
On her pillow's where I lay

I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek,
And whisper in her ear.
Mommy don't be sad today,
I'm your baby and I'm here.'

"So you see my dear sweet ones,
your children are okay.
Your babies are born here in My home,
And this is where they'll stay.

They'll wait for you with Me,
Until your lesson's through.
And on the day that you come home
they'll be at the gates for you.

So now you see what makes a Mother,
It's the feeling in your heart
it's the love you had so much of
Right from the very start

Though some on earth may not realize,
you are a Mother.
Until their time is done.
They'll be up here with Me one day
and know that you are the best one!"

[Atlantisea]

A poem called Just Those Few Weeks

For those few weeks, i had you to myself, And that seems too short a time to be changed so profoundly.  In those few weeks, i came to know you, and to love you.  You came to trust me with your life, Oh, what a life i had planned for you!  Just those few weeks, when i lost you, i lost a lifetime of hopes, plans, dreams and apirations.  A slice of my furture simply vanished overnight.  Just those few weeks, it wasnt enough time to convincce others how special and important you were.  How odd, a truly unique person has recently died and no one is mourning the passing.  Just a mere few weeks and no "normal" person would cry all night, over a tiny, unfinshed baby or get depressed and withdrawn day after endless day.  No one would, so why am I?  You were just those few weeks my little one, you darted in and out of my life so quickly, but it seems thats all the time you needed to make mylfie so much richer and give me a small glimpse of eternity

[Atlantisea]

Hello, Goodbye

Sleeping safe in a dream world
protected by all that surrounds you--
a beating heart
a gentle laugh
the touch of loving hands
And your future wasn't too far away.

We longed to see your smile
hear your cry and dry the tears
We longed to teach you all that we knew
and hold your hand in ours
But time has slipped away
softly. gently. quietly like the setting sun
upon evening's pale horizon.
And in an instant, you left--
(I'm not so sure I'll ever understand.)

There are still lessons to teach
and games to play,
sandcastles to build,
and kites to fly
Things to explore
and monsters to chase away in the night
But you've already gone.

So we cry our tears
and pack up the few reminders we have
of the brief life that ended
before you ever took your first breath
or your first steps--
hoping only that you'll be happy
wherever you are

[Atlantisea]

"An angel in the book of life wrote down my baby's birth.

Then whispered as she closed the book "too beautiful for earth."

[Lance06]

This is all so beautiful!

Thanks for all your nice comments, This truly touched my heart and when I stop crying, I will try to get through it again.  Nobody knows what to say or do so I guess that is normal... I opted not to have the D & C because they offered me a medication called misoprostol which is a medical alternative to the surgical procedure.  They will do a ultrasound in two weeks to see if all the tissue is gone.  I just put 4 pills up my personal parts (better because you do at home) and take vicadin for the pain.  Thanks for all of your invitations to stay in the forum but is best for me to leave behind "what could have been."  Best of luck to you all, you are never officially out of the woods but lets just say the trees are getting thinner for you.  Count your blessings.  With the miscarrage (miscarriage) of twins August 4th after loosing my "second mom" my aunt, in my arms March 4th to Pancreatic Cancer 46 days after her diagnosis.  I am three down in the past 5 months. Goodbye and I truly wish you pure happiness and the hope that is yet to come for you all...I have to be positive and think that the peaks of good times are even better when the valleys of bad times run deep.  Hopefully, it will only get better from here. Bless you...
