A poem for mothers of a lost we one

[Butterfly7]

This is something I found and omg did it make me so sad for the child I lost on the 17th July 3 years ago now. This touched me so deeply I wanted to share it with you all.



Mother of life,

Mother of death,

here is a spirit so new

that the gates of life and death

are just an archway in her dancing ground.

She has danced her way back to you.

Her passage is easy

but mine is hard.

I wanted to hold her living flesh

and feel her soft breath and her heartbeat.

(I nurtured her in my body;

I would have fed her from my breasts.)

I would have cared for her

and watched her first steps

and listened for her voice.

No other child that may come to me

will ever be what she would have been.

Nothing, nobody, will ever replace her.

Whatever healing I may find,

this loss will always be a part of me.

(Bless my womb, which has the power

to create life and death.)

Bless my arms

that would have embraced her.

Bless my hands that would have lifted her.

Bless my heart that grieves.
