A Life Is a Life

A life is a life no matter how small. Today I cry for the unborn child A baby who didn't make it at all Still attached in the womb was a recall That left the mother with out a child. A life is a life no matter how small A baby who's name never made it to land fall Or to the live births to be filed. A baby who didn't make it at all Whose mother is wrapped in her shawl Chilled. A life is a life no matter how small Oh! God. I know you'll consol And help her rebuild. She'll always remember a baby who didn't Make it at all. Yet, she'll be a mother again to a healthy baby With a strong squall. Then this mother will be fulfilled. A life is a life no matter how small I cry for a baby who didn't make it at all.

This is so poignant and sad and true, and sad, and so so so so sad. I cannot help but climb in and out of sad, for I can feel it, and hear it screaming from this poem. You have done sad a justice indeed, honoring her as well as the lives who do not make it.

Thank you Caren. I believe that like me there are so many women who go through this. It is not easy. Yet, God helps us to move on.
