The Empty Womb

I carried you so lovingly
within my gentle womb...
and little did I realize,
your life would end too soon.

I never got the chance to say
"I love you little one", because
before I held you in my arms,
your life on earth was done.

The grief is indescribable,
to lose a child this way...
all the many hopes and dreams,
just vanished on that day. 

 I'll see the sun shine bright
upon my baby's face...
when I finally get to heaven,
all my pain will be erased.

We'll soar the skies together,
as angels two by two...
we'll have a sweet reunion;
a mother's dream come true.
