Poem for people who have lost a baby

by izzys_mom, Jan 02, 2008 01:12AM
This was posted on the Maternal & Child by losingmymindinGa. I think it is beautiful, and it was what I needed today, a day of reflection on the last year and hope for the coming year. Enjoy.


Angel Cord


Author: Unknown


We are connected, my child and I,
by an invisible cord, not seen by the eye.

It's not like the cord, that connects us 'til birth.
This cord can't be seen by anyone on earth.

This cord does it's work right from the start.
It binds us together attached to my heart.

I know that it's there, though no one can see,
the invisible cord from my child to me.

The strength of this cord is hard to describe,
it can't be destroyed, it can't be denied.

It's stronger than any cord man could create.
It withstands the test and can hold any weight.

Though you are gone and not here with me,
The cord is still there but no one can see.

It pulls at my heart, I am bruised, I am sore.
But this cord is my lifeline as never before.

I am thankful that God connects us this way.
A mother and child, nothing can take it away.
