My dearest, how I miss you in this early morning quiet,
It surprises me how silence can start up such a riot,
I woke today forgetting that you were gone away,
For just a moment I was full again but the moment didn't stay,
Almost here, your four months old, I can't believe how time has passed,
I don't know how I've managed but the numb isn't built to last,
I'm faced with pain, reality, every moment is a chore,
Remembering you is just so hard but forgetting you hurts more,
Some days are worse but I'll survive, or so that's what they say,
But somehow when the silence comes I remember that horrid day,
It's bitter sweet, I met you son but you weren't meant for earth,
I guess God has a plan for you but it doesn't mean I never hurt,
Have faith they say, he's with God they say, but what about me?
With empty arms I'm left to cry but they turn and never see,
Some days I look at daddy and say, can you believe we made a baby,
We laugh about the sweet memories, remembering isn't always bad lately,
I hang your pictures proudly, in our tiny little home,
So maybe after all, I really never am alone,
It just isn't fair we were so close and still you had to go,
But in my heart you stay forever, I hope you'll always know,
I hope you hear me singing, and that you hear me say "I love you",
Because sweet angel, your dearly missed, though we hardly got to know you.
"A Mother's body remembers her babies-the folds of soft flesh, the softly furred scalp against her nose. Each child has it's own entreaties to body and soul." - Barbara Kingsolver
