What Makes a Mother?
I thought of you, and closed my eyes, and prayed to God today.
I asked What makes a Mother? and I know I heard him say
A Mother has a baby this we know is true.
But, God, can you be a Mother when your baby's not with you?
Yes, you can he replied with confidence in his voice.
I give many women babies, when they leave it is not their choice.
Some I send for a lifetime, and others for the day.
And some I send to feel your womb, but there's no need to stay.
I just don't understand this God. I want my baby here.
He took a breath and cleared his throat, and then I saw a tear.
I wish I could show you what your child is doing today.
If you could see your child smile with other children and say,
We go to earth to learn our lessons of love and life and fear.
My Mommy loved me so much, I got to come straight here.
I feel so lucky to have a Mom who had so much love for me.
I learned my lessons very quickly. My Mommy set me free.
I miss my Mommy oh so much, but I visit her each day.
When she goes to sleep, I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek,
And whisper in her ear, Mommy don't be sad today.
I'm your baby and I am here.
So you see my dear sweet one, your children are okay.
Your babies are here in My home, and this is where they'll stay.
They'll wait for you with Me until your lessons are through,
And on the day you come home, they'll be at the gates for you.
So now you see what makes a Mother,
It's the feeling in your heart.
It's the love you had so much of right from the very start.
Though some on Earth may not realize until their time is done,
Remember all the love you have and know that you are
A Special Mom.
A poem called Just Those Few Weeks
For those few weeks, i had you to myself, And that seems too short a time to be changed so profoundly. In those few weeks, i came to know you, and to love you. You came to trust me with your life, Oh, what a life i had planned for you! Just those few weeks, when i lost you, i lost a lifetime of hopes, plans, dreams and apirations. A slice of my furture simply vanished overnight. Just those few weeks, it wasnt enough time to convincce others how special and important you were. How odd, a truly unique person has recently died and no one is mourning the passing. Just a mere few weeks and no "normal" person would cry all night, over a tiny, unfinshed baby or get depressed and withdrawn day after endless day. No one would, so why am I? You were just those few weeks my little one, you darted in and out of my life so quickly, but it seems thats all the time you needed to make mylfie so much richer and give me a small glimpse of eternity
Hello, Goodbye
Sleeping safe in a dream world
protected by all that surrounds you--
a beating heart
a gentle laugh
the touch of loving hands
And your future wasn't too far away.
We longed to see your smile
hear your cry and dry the tears
We longed to teach you all that we knew
and hold your hand in ours
But time has slipped away
softly. gently. quietly like the setting sun
upon evening's pale horizon.
And in an instant, you left--
(I'm not so sure I'll ever understand.)
There are still lessons to teach
and games to play,
sandcastles to build,
and kites to fly
Things to explore
and monsters to chase away in the night
But you've already gone.
So we cry our tears
and pack up the few reminders we have
of the brief life that ended
before you ever took your first breath
or your first steps--
hoping only that you'll be happy
wherever you are
