A Child Loss

A loss of a child to a mother,
is very hard to conceive.
To carry a baby, watch them grow up,
to be cruelly tipped away.

The emptiness is a hole,
that is black and cold.
Your arms are forever empty,
longing for the child you no longer hold.

Life is unreal to live,
after such a loss.
Shaking, crying and starving, wondering why this has to be.
There is no answer no one can give.

Grieving, the rest of her life,
is the path of a mother.
Something no mother should do.
A path that I wish no other, had to walk down.
Child of Mine

I gave you life, my child
On the day that you were born
The love you gave to me
Now helps this heart that's torn

I watched you grow and learn each day
As the years flew like a gentle breeze
Now if I could have you back again
I'd kneel and pray on my knees

I didn't know our life together
Would end after only a few years
Now my heart is sad and lonely
And life is full of tears

I always think about you
Not a day goes by that I miss
I cherish the memories we made
Yet forever I'll always wish....

That life had taken a different path
Or that I could un-do that last day
When I was given no warning
That you were going away

I often think if things were changed
And I had left and you stayed
Would I want you to feel the pain
When your mom was taken away?

I wouldn't want you to cry each night
Or have your heart broken in two
I'd want you to go on and live
And have my memories be special for you

I'd want you to remember me
And the love we forever shared
I'd never want you feeling lonely
But to know how much I cared

Now you live in Heaven
And I'm still waiting for my time
When the angels call my name
I'll step to the front of the line

On Mother's Day I will cry
As I usually always do
Because I'm a mom whose heart hurts
For my child who left too soon
Forever angel, you'll be mine
Today, tomorrow, for all time
Upon my breast you lay so sweet
Dear child of mine, my pain is deep.
Your eyes are closed, your breath is still
I could but think this can't be real.
So many plans we had for you
Are laid to rest as you are too.
A day won't pass I will forget
You'll forever be my angel yet
Sami, Sweet Sami,
Why did you have to go.
We just want to tell you
That we miss you so.

Sami, Sweet Sami,
You left us too soon,
But we still see your glow,
By the light of the moon.

It's hard to say goodbye,
To someone you love so much.
We would give anything,
For your hand again to touch.

Sami, Sweet Sami,
Are the pearly gates of Heaven now pink.
That's what a lot of us down here tend to think.

Sami, Sweet Sami,
Look down  upon us and smile,
One day we'll be together again,
We'll just have to wait awhile.

                       We love you Sami.
