poem for those who have lost a child

i just wanted to share this poem i found the other day. its helped me some

"" I'LL BE THERE ""
Daddy, please don't look so sad, Momma please don't cry 'Cause I'm in the arms of Jesus and He sings me lullabies. Please, try not to question God, don't think He is unkind. Don't think He sent me to you, and then He changed His mind. You see, I am a Special Child, and I'm needed up above. I'm the Special gift you have Him, the product of your love. I'll always be there with you, and watch the sky at night. Find the brightest star that's gleaming, That's my halo's brilliant light. You'll see me in the morning frost, that mists your window pane. That's me, in the summer showers, I'll be dancing in the rain. When you feel a little breeze, from a gentle wind that blows. That's me, I'll be there, planting a kiss on your nose. When you see a child playing, and your heart feels a little tug, That's me, I'll be there giving your heart a hug. So Daddy, please don't look so sad, Momma don't you cry. I'm in the arms of Jesus, and He sings me lullabies.

I'll Hold You in Heaven

From the very beginning I loved you,
As I made plans to hold you and rock you:
You were tiny and helpless as you lay in my womb,
But something went wrong and soon you were gone;
My young heart was broken, my tears fell like rain,
I'd never known such heartache and pain.
I wonder who you look like, me or your dad,
Do you have my smile and his eyes?
Would you have been big and tall or tiny and small?
We had dreams for you that reached to the skies.
It was long, long ago and I still miss you so,
Thanks to Jesus, I'll see you in heaven.

I'll hold you in heaven someday,
When my trials on earth pass away;
The angels have rocked you, the Father watches over you,
I know you're waiting for me;
I never could hold you or tell you "Goodbye",
But I'll hold you in heaven someday.

LITTLE ANGELS
When God calls little children
to dwell with him above,
We mortals sometime question
the wisdom of His love.
For no heartache compares with
the death of one small child
Who does so much to make our world,
seem wonderful and mild
Perhaps God tires of calling
the aged to his fold,
So He picks a rosebud,
before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them,
and so He takes but few
To make the land of Heaven
more beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult still
somehow we must try,
The saddest word mankind knows
will always be"Goodbye."
So when a little child departs,
we who are left behind
Must realize God loves children,
Angels are hard to find.

just bumping this because I think this is an excellent topic for those who have lost our children and those mothers who are thinking about "getting rid of their problem" maybe some of the hurt that we have went thru will change your mind.

I do write a lot, thank you Mrs. Joy! I think I have written around 30 or 40 poems, it is just a way for me to release what I am feeling at the moment. All of the stories and poems shared here have really tugged at my heart.

Cindy, thank you for thinking of this and posting it!

Thank you! I am glad to hear your sister is finally pregnant CONGRATS!!! Thats horrible that people can actually do that to their babies.... Women who just pop babies out and dont take care of them need to be forced to have a hysterectomy or something. They dont deserve to have babies and mistreat them.... Thats so heart wrenching to hear about the little ones! I dont even know what to say! Yes we have to believe and keep hope in our hearts.... My friend just found out she is pregnant about 5-7 weeks... I hope its not to soon though! I know she is a good mother and will be. I just worry about her. I dont think I could handle losing my baby! I just saw on the news that a mother killed her 9 yr old daughter and then herself! I just cant understand!
Good luck to you, ttc! I really hope that you get your little one!

im so sorry for your loss and your friends loss. its so hard. i can only imagine what it was like for your friend. blessings to yall both. its normal to worry, its what being a good mother is about. its so sad seeing all these people that want abortions and stuff pop them out like there nothing and the ones that do want them cant. my sister was told for 13 yrs she couldnt even get preg. she as a adopted lil girl from a crack head that left the lil girl to die. ( i know this for fact as the lil girl was her husbands niece) now my sister is 14 weeks preg.yay!!  my lil niece that was adopted mom had 2 children befor her, they got tokkin away, had her, then another lil boy, he got took away, then another which died cause they left something that they make christal meth on the table and she drunk it and her stomach exploded, and she had another after that. its hard to imagine why, but all i can say is we got to believe so we can have hope

You ladies have me in complete tears right now! All I can think about is my close friends 6 month old baby died on Nov. 4, 2007. She was so in love with him..... It was so horrible and sad, just heartbreaking, to see their pain! He looked so horrible and like he was still in pain. My heart has never hurt so bad. I had a miscarriage in 2003 and that killed me. Knowing that they had him for only a few short months is so devastating! I have only been to 2 funerals now and I pray that I never have to go to another for a someone so small, and innocent. Its horrible to have to bury your own child, not even a child but a baby!!!! I know hes in heaven now and Jesus will take great care of him but sometimes you cant help to ask why?! I have and am always terriffied to lose my babies..... I see the babies on t.v. with the cancers and I cant handle it!  Is it normal to be so worried about you children at 3 1/2 and 18 months that you sleep maybe 4 hrs and have alarm system and alarms on their windows and baby monitors through the house into my room, and security lights that will light my yard like the brightest summer day????? I sometimes wonder if I should see someone for this? I never leave my children alone. My 3yr old daugh. goes to dance class everymonday for 1hr and I will not leave the parking lot by the door incase something happens !!!!!

Im sorry these poems got to me and I had to share...... Thank you for posting these poems and for reading mine!!!!!!

We are kinda, when we are together, we try :) But he is gone traveling so much. I went and had more blood work done last week and my HCG was higher than it was in I m/c, so the dr thinks there is a chance I still might be pg, I have to go in on Monday for an u/s and more lab work, I just have yet to say anything publically until now because I am terrified of bad news right now.
