Poem For My Unborn Child

A dear friend sent me this poem. It has helped her through many tears as she has mourned her miscarriage. 

 

My Unborn Child

I never got to see your face

Or even give you a name

But in my heart, you hold a special place

And for that, I would never be the same

I'll never hear you laugh or cry

Or hold you in my arms tenderly

I'll never know the color of your eyes

But I will still love you endlessly

I never got to hold your hand

I never got to sing you a lullaby

I will never come to understand

Why murderers run free & innocent souls die

I'll always have my suspicions

Why God took you from me

All these unanswered questions

That would burn inside of me

 

You are my shining light in heaven

For one of God's angels to love

Until I get my wings to descend

She'll take care of you, for me, in Heaven above

You'll be my guiding light to Heaven's gate

Where I'll get to see your angelic smile

And even if I never got to see your face

I'll know in an instant that you are my unborn child!
