The “what might have been” is the hardest part
When you lose something so close to your heart
The excitement you feel to welcome your little one
Will it be another daughter or maybe a son
Will he have his daddy’s hair and eyes
Or will she be like mommy, beautiful and wise
One day your future seems filled with such joy
Shopping for a crib, a new outfit, or toy
The next day you’re empty yet filled with such sorrow
But I promise that soon there will be a brighter tomorrow
The whole in your heart I can assure you shall fill
Maybe not today or tomorrow but soon I promise it will
It sounds so cliché to say things like this
But soon God will give you more of that new baby bliss
He has a plan that is greater than us
It is hard right now but in that you must trust
My sympathy for you is greater than you know
I love you and I hurt for you so
I am sure that soon our hearts will mend
And on that day our sadness will end
A bond is made when two experience a loss like this
I know what it is like to hurt, to cry and to miss
Everything you are feeling I am sure I have too
The anger, the denial and feeling just plain blue
I want you to know that you are my cousin my friend
And I will be here for you now, always and till the end
(This poem was written for my cousin when she had a miscarriage)
