I lost my first child at birth in October of 1982. A baby boy. It was a very hard experience for me. 14 months later I was blessed with another son.A beautiful healthy baby.Although I came close to losing him a few months into my pregnancy. In 1985 I was blessed again with a beautiful healthy daughter.I feel truly blessed to have the children that I have, but still I always think of the one I lost and know that he holds a piece of my heart.
I wrote this poem to him one Mother’s Day, several years ago.
To My First Child
To the son that I lost I want to say
I think of you Today on Mothers Day
I loved you from the moment you were conceived.
I felt the miracle of you growing inside of me
I was filled with so much Joy
I wanted you so badly my baby boy
I remember hugging my stomach ,I felt so protective of you
And I sang to you, from the moment I knew
I only saw you for but a brief moment
Then they took you away, My baby boy gone to heaven
I never got to hold you close to me
I never got to kiss you or see your eyes looking at me
But I loved you with all of my heart
I grieved for you when we had to part
I want you to know on this day
Mommy loves you
You will always be cherished in my heart
And I will never forget you
I know that you’re safe in Gods Arms
And that he will always keep you from harm
We will meet again
On the day when I come to heaven
When in my arms you’ll be placed
And I will look upon your beautiful face
I’ll place a gentle kiss upon your lips
and you will know how much you were missed
Your eyes will look up at me
and you’ll know the love of your Mommy
