To the child I never got the chance to meet
The child I'll never get to hold
I watched your little heart beating
It was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen
I listened to that most amazing sound
...bump...bump...bump...
I let my mind create pictures
Holding you in my arms
Watching you grow
See you laying on Daddy's chest
Seeing that beautiful mouth smile for the very first time
I was so excited to have you in my life
So excited to see your little hands in mine
See your little toes curl
And then a day came that will be burned into my mind for the rest of my life
I saw your beautiful little body
Protected inside of mine
And that little heart of yours
So brilliant and strong and amazing....
Stopped.
You left me here
And went away to wherever it is that dreams fade away to
Your body is still a part of me
Has been since the day your were created
And will be untill the day I die.
I'll never forget that most beautiful sight
And I'll never forget that little bump bump bump
It will haunt my dreams
Haunt my days
And yet I'll never regret the little time I had with you
Through all this pain
You were still the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
For now and forever I'll console myself
By imagining that your heart still beats
But now it beats inside of mine
Instead of on your own.

That's a beautiful poem. You chould check out Pregnancy Loss - JustMommies Message Boards. A lot of the girls there have really good advice and they have all been really helpful to me.

Sailorswife, I can relate, and you have spoken so beautifully. Thank you for your wonderful thoughts through this very difficult time. I think you have spoke the words we all feel, but could not put into words, the beautiful way that you did. Im so sorry for your loss. May God bless you.
