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.

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!
