POEM OF LOSS

Undeniable Loss for My Child I Never Knew

A mother’s miscarriage devastates a lifetime of dreams, not only weeks or months of an unbreakable bond.

My days belong in part to you My sweet child, I never knew

I can’t meet you, but I know I will When my final step ends, and I am still

I carry my wreckage unseen and unnamed With validation of pain, I don’t want to be shamed

I see the family you would have loved You are ever missing, body and blood

I accepted blame you never created Wanting answers, I forever waited

Grieving dictates the stolen dreams Time lessens my hidden screams

My heart saved a precious memory of you Beating stronger, I believe you knew

Till our day comes to finally embrace My love for you will never erase
