My Baby

A gift like no other gift, one that can't be bought a precious human being, deserving the right to live to exist as we all do, but sometimes it just doesn't happen that way, A baby of no harm, a baby of no sins a baby of pure love, and only innocence Tender moments, carrying wishes disappointments, everyday misses Sitting there all alone, even though I was surrounded, by others While wondering, why it may be that I am made to suffer, Wanting nothing more, but to die inside and out, Things happen for a reason, so I was taught I'll never know the reason, but I'll always feel the loss The loss of my child, my baby was taken away from me, and there is no reason I constantly ask myself, why did this happen? what did I do wrong? I asked God to save my baby, to protect us both I remain here, but my baby is gone It seems as if, my whole world, just fell apart and all I could do, was sit back and watch it happen I found myself, feeling lonely needing someone, anyone to hold me All I could do was cry, I had to cry, for the sake of myself for the sake of my baby, for the sake of my heart I had to weep I cried and cried aloud, hoping to be heard please father, I'll do whatever you want you have my word, just please save my baby I bled so much, had so much pain denied to myself, everything would be okay Crying and pleading, praying and weeping became an everyday routine, it was so hard to believe this was happening to me, It's not over yet, it never will be everyday and every night, it's in my memory... (March 1998) My sweet baby you will always be with me...

Oh my, Tyesha, this poem I missed earlier, but it is such a soulful, heart breaking testimony to your precious child. There are never enough words to say how sorry I am that you went through such a difficult time. God Bless you, and in time, I pray that your heart will heal. ~ Love, Carrie

I am so sorry, from the bottom of my bottomless heart, I am so sorry. The pain of losing a child, well, there are no words, I am just so sorry. A beautiful gut-wrenching tribute to your angel, love always, Kristin

hi Tyesha, I am truly sorry for the loss of your child, yes as stated in the Bible at Eccelesiates 9:5 and 10 unforseen occurrences befall us all, you are not being ounished or made to suffer because God is unloving, he allows us to go through things, but he is never the cause of it, there is always hope, such a beautiful and sad tribute, may you know peace in your heart, and thank you for your kind and considerate words on my write repentant heart, take care my dear and know that you will be

a blessing for all their pain has ended and the time of rejoicing begins - it is written that an innocent child will go straight to heaven - I believe this is true - I'm very proud to see that your Faith wasn't broken - Makes you a better person than I was because for most of my life I despised the lord for what he had done, what he had allowed - I ran hard for thirty years before i was broken and cried out his name and was accepted back into his kingdom - What a poem - God Bless, MJ

This is so sad, yet I found beauty within the words. I hope the voice in this piece will be comforted over and over again. Great write.

Tyesha - How can I even begin to comment on this poem - Sometimes things happen that go far beyond our capacity to understand - When I was 4 I watched my mother drown and I just couldn't understand how God could let such a thing happen - i became so bitter and angry with him and the course of my life took a horrible turn for the worse and I wasted so many years before I ever spoke to him again - Death is a tragic thing for those of us left behind but to those who leave us I believe it is ----

Dear sweet Tyesha, the pain of a mother who's lost her child must be inconsolable. My heart cried out to you in your anguish. I miscarried and forever it is with me though time does lessen the sting. My heart is very touched after reading this, I can feel your pain. Laurie

and this poem the same as the other just so sad and full of pain but you pen it so the reader is drawn in and feels what you feel, at least in the moment, cause unless one has been through this one can never truly understand I know it's a shame such a well written poem but to have it one has to go through such unbearable circumstances this one to is going in my favorites I know it don't make up for what you're going through but still I want to keep this for safe keeping with all my love Sandy
