...while I was grieving over my first miscarriage.
An unknown being
grew deep inside of me.
A person I love,
though she has gone away.
I love her so dearly,
for she was my first child...
...a child I'll never know.
Questions bombard me...
for I wonder what she was like.
Would she look like me?
Or favor her dad?
Would she be quiet and shy?
Or a little bit wild?
My heart is in pieces...
Because...
she won't ever come back
to the parents who love her.

Thank you for your kind words...this was actually written in '89 and it is only recently that I felt I could really look at it again.

I love that poem its so beautiful and says it all, its sweet :-) i was born in 89 and it makes me think I'm lucky to be here, i know that pain will never go away but i pray she is in heaven now where there is no pain nor suffering :-) and that each day that goes by is less raw.
Take care and it was very brave of you to look at that poem again and share it with us thank you for that i really liked it :-)

I find it great that you were able to write about it at the time. It must have helped you somehow. Writing is an act of memory: when you write you keep the memory of certain events. It is like an inscription that does not disappear. I find it touching that you have kept the memory of that little child alive. Thank you for sharing.

Sweetie, I know exactly how you feel. I have been there twice. It's good that you put your feelings down on paper. I just gave in to my depression and raided the fridge. Facing your feelings is good, I still can't bring myself to face mine. That envelope I told you about is still a challenge for me. Hugs and kisses for you, sweet sister.

Wow, girl...kind of bleak at the end...very touching though...to make it easy to go back and re-read, please add a final thought that includes a ray of hope...you had to have found some acceptance of it all...so us readers don't just lock up in despair...that's my honest critique..is that what you wanted?

Wow, Kuma. I like it. Not because it's exceptional in any other aspect but being raw. It's completely real and devoid of any bullshit.
