A Pair of Shoes

I am wearing a pair of shoes.

They are ugly shoes.

Uncomfortable shoes.

I hate my shoes.

Each day I wear them, and each day I wish I had another pair.

Some days my shoes hurt so bad that I do not think I can take another step. Yet, I continue to wear them.

I get funny looks wearing these shoes.

I can tell in others eyes that they are glad they are my shoes and not theirs.

They never talk about my shoes.

To learn how awful my shoes are might make them uncomfortable.

To truly understand these shoes you must walk in them.

But, once you put them on, you can never take them off.

I now realize that I am not the only one who wears these shoes.

There are many pairs in this world.

Some woman are like me and ache daily as they try and walk in them.

Some have learned how to walk in them so they don't hurt quite as much.

Some have worn the shoes so long that days will go by before they think about how much they hurt.

No woman deserves to wear these shoes. Yet, because of these shoes I am a stronger woman.

These shoes have given me the strength to face anything.

They have made me who I am

I will forever walk in the shoes of a woman who has lost a child.

We'll never get to hold you,

Or look upon your face.

We'll never get to show you,

Our love through our embrace.

We'll never have the feeling,

Of you calling out to us.

We'll never know the feeling,

Of you looking up to us.



Why you were taken away from us ,

We'll never really know.

We look around for a sign,

As to why you weren't to grow.



There is nothing we can do right now

Our minds are an absolute mess.

There is confusion, sadness, sorry,

And anger I must confess.

Our tears can not bring you back,

Back into our world.

You are gone from us on this plain

We'll meet again I know.



So until that time I ll say to you,

And you must listen to your mummy.

Watch out for us when we come one day,

Your mummy and your daddy.

An Angel Never Dies

Dont let them say, I wasnt born

That something stopped my heart

I felt each tender squeeze you gave

I've loved you from the start

Although my body you cant hold

It doesn't mean I m gone

This world was worthy, not, of me

God chose that I move on.

I know the pain that drowns your soul

What you are forced to face

You have my word, I 'll fill your arms

Someday we will embrace

You'll hear that it was meant to be, God doesn't make mistakes

But that wont soften your worst blow

Or make your heart not ache.

I m watching over all you do,

Another child you'll bear.

Believe me when I say to you, That I am always there.

There will come a time, I promise you

When you will hold my hand, Stroke my face and kiss my lips

And then you'll understand Although, I ve never breathed your air, Or gazed into your eyes.

That doesnt mean I never was, An Angel Never Dies

A MOTHER'S GRIEF

She carries such a heavy heart, her tears will often flow,

Seems everyone's avoiding her, seems no-one wants to know!

Her grief she carries all alone, nobody seems to care,

Or help her ease this burden, this burden she must bear.

Her baby has just left her, but where, where did he go?

Why did he have to leave so soon, and will she ever know?

A mother's grief's a lonely path, she only wants her child,

For other's understanding, their love, if only mild!

To talk of her lost baby, acknowledge her real pain,

To tell her life will soon be bright, she'll see her child again,

For he has gone to Heaven, an Angel up above,

Where there's no tears or dying, just great eternal love.

Try understand this mother's grief, praise God it was not you

That lost your precious, wanted child, for he was wanted too!

[AngelBabies]

Just Say "I'm Sorry!"

You don't know how I feel

Please don't tell me that you do

There is just one way to know - have you lost a child too?

"You'll have another child!" - must I hear this each day?

Can I get another Father, too, if mine should pass away?



Don't say it was gods will.

That s not the god I know.

Would god on purpose break my heart,

Then watch as my tears flow?



"aren't you better yet? "

Is that what I heard you say?

NO! A part of my heat aches -

I ll always feel some pain.

You think that silence is kind,

But it hurts me even more.

I want to talk about my child

Who has gone through death's door.



Don't say these things to me,

Although you do mean well.

They don't take the pain away;

I must go through this hell.

I will get better slow but sure -

And it helps to have you near.

But a simple "I m sorry you lost your child" Is all I need to hear.

AngelBabies, those are all beautiful poems and truly reflect how we all feel. Thanks for sharing!!

[AngelBabies]

Trish36.... Thank You so much.... I can only 'claim' on of them, the rest are ones that I have found.....and they are beautiful. I have many of them... I wasnt sure where to put them as this is more of a TTCAL than a Loss thread... but I couldnt find anywhere else that you could put them that was relevant. So i hope they are in the right place.

Beautiful poems. I love them all. I really like the last one because it is soo true. Unless you've actually been through it you dont realy know what it feels like. but most people try their best to comfort you...its just hard to choose the right words to say.
