Daddy, mommy, why are you laying me down on the grave? I was dreaming before that you’ll be putting me in my cozy crib. Are you so remorseful and that's the reason you are crying? I’m only five months old trying to understand your feeling. You got married so young and you didn’t know what to do You didn’t take care of me in your womb but, still I love you so. I was dreaming and wishing you to nurture me with your love Give all the things I need until I grow and make you proud. I am so deeply wounded, but I forgive you with what you did I’ll just be your little angle to guide you both and your next kid. As we bid goodbye then , bring with you my shattered dreams I do plead, to my brothers or sisters make them whole again. Daddy, mommy, thank you so much for my very beautiful name Don’t forget your Baby Shalom whose love will forever be the same. First Place Contest: Unborn Babies Dream Judged: 10/14/2012 Poet Sponsor: Scribe Marlon Linton Written: Oct. 11,2012

For a grief and losing her unborn child, no one knows how big the grief can be without even having experienced it. - A very sensitive subject, describing it lovingly and very well Leonora. - I wish you good luck in contest - hope you win. - Have a beautiful day. - oxox love Anne-Lise :)
