Hi

I remember somebody put a poem on the site a good while back now, it was just after I lost my third baby so a good year and a half ago about a baby and not making it here to earth, it was such a beatuiful poem I forgot to save it at the time though, does anyone know who it was? if the person who submitted it still uses this site please could you post it again.

Many thanks

Claire

ps: there are so many people who had babies around the same time as me Feb this year, hope you are all ok and enjoying your not so little bundles anymore!

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but here is the one I keep on my desk for my two angel babies...

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 is 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 just for a 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 here.
He took a breath and cleared his throat, and then I saw a tear.
I wish i could show you what your child is doing today.
If you could see your child smile, with 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 has 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 everyday.
When she goes to sleep, on her pillow, this is where I lay.
I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek and I whisper in her ear...
Mommy don't be sad today, it's your baby, and I'm here."
So, you see my dear sweet one, Your children are not blue.
Your babies are here in my home, They'll be at Heaven's gate waiting 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 thier time is done. They'll be up here with me one day,
and they'll know you were the best one.

I love this one. I have tow in Heaven waiting on me!!!

Hi

thanks for posting that, it is lovely, as much as i love my baby girl to bits I do still feel sad from time to time and wonder if my other 3 pregnancies had been successful what those babies would be like now.  It isn't the same poem I remember seeing but it is still as profound none the less and I will be saving it.

Thanks again

Claire

PS: I remember part of the poem was

I'm just a little person, who didn't quite make it here

OH MY GOSH, I am sitting at my desk with tears in my eyes....

That makes two of us...and I just realized I'm out of Kleenex. I'm gonna run to the supply room, hope that no one sees me with eyeliner down my face, and grab a new box.  

Very powerful words- bringing me comfort and sadness at the same time.

I rented it before, but never got around to watching it.  Is it creepy/freaky in a good way, or just creepy?

This is a poem that I had loved after losing Jacob and forgot to save it. Sometimes I feel like I was not a mom until I had
Alex because I had no child to see, but I know that I was a mommy as soon as Jacob was concieved and this poem says how I feel in my heart. Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU!!

OK, I watched a movie this weekend that really creeped me out.  It was Godsend with Robert Dinero, Rebecca Romejn Stamos and Greg Kineer.  THey lose their little boy when he is 8 and Robert Dinero is a doctor that clones him so they have him again...

[Stacie30]

i've seen that one. it is freaky

[gonza]

I thought it was creepy in a bad way.  DH and I watched it and it was just disturbing to me.  They clone their son after he dies and she gives birth to him again and right after he reaches the age he was when he died, he starts having memories.  VERY weird.

A BABY"S SECRET
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                        I'm just a little person;
                                   And I didn't quite make it there;
                                   I went straight to be with Jesus
                                    And I'm waiting for you here.
                                 Don't you fret about me, Mommy,
                                 I'm of all God's lambs most blest;
                                        I'd have loved to stayed
                                              there with you,
                                       But our shepherd know's
                                                  whats best.
                                     Many dwelling here where I live
                                          Waited year to enter in;
                                   Struggled through a world of sorrow
                                   And their lives were marred with sin.
                                   So sweet Mommy don't you sorrow,
                                   Chase the gloom and wipe the tears;
                                    I went straight to Jesus's bosom
                                     May your heartache disappear.
