The Tenth


A poem dedicated to mothers who have endured the pain of losing a child; whether that be a miscarriage or during birth. This poem is special to me and my family. I thank God for giving me the words to write it.


Today I left you, but not alone
I saw Him hold your hand
He wiped each tear from your eyes
Please Mom understand:


He said that I was made
So perfect in your womb
He knew my name and my days
He just asked me to come Home soon

The hurt you felt in your heart
He said He will take away...
And replace it with a resounding joy
Enough to fill your days

He heard your cry
though you couldn't hear mine
He mourned with you and stayed
He promises me and you…
    will see each other again one day

The reason why I had to leave
He knew it all along
He needed me ABOVE you
Instead of in your arms

He asks you not to forget of me
But remember me each time you pray
Because that's when we are closest
When you look up...I see your face

These wings are awfully big
But perfect to protect all of you
I hold you all so tight at night
And follow your steps too

When you start to miss me
Use the windows to my soul
Stare into daddy's eyes
And that's when you will know

Because when you smile back at him
He'll see me smiling too
That's when you'll feel the peace and strength
Knowing I'm so close to you

With peace I leave you and dad
My sisters and my brother too
I may not have seen my room
But you gave me life in your womb

You sacrificed your body
To bring forth an eternal life
More special than you know
Forever...I will survive!

From here I see it's clear as day
As He rocks me in His Arms
The Lord gave His only begotten son
And in return you gave Him yours

When tears fall and years go by
Listen to the beating of your heart
Because He made me through you
That will never keep us apart

Love your Angel Baby
Our time on Earth was short
But that is only a temporary place

I'm

        Home

                     Forever

                                       Now.
