To the baby that I carried
But never seen your eyes
Or tell you how much I loved you
Or ever to hear your cries.

You will never be forgotten
The excitement we had for your coming.
When I realized I'd never hold you,
The feeling I had was numbing.
My angel baby is who you are.
My angel baby you'll always be.
Your loving memory will live in my heart
So you will always be right here with me.

this poem was so touching to me, i wanted to share it with you all

that's really lovely gussie. There's another poem in the 'something special to comfort us' post by Laujai. Have you read that one? I think both of them really capture the sentiment of how we all feel.

Ok am currently pg after 2 mcs but now sobbing at this poem, so beautiful. Unfortunately, it isn't something that you ever forget but maybe it is better that way. xx

That is lovely.
I tried to find a poem to put in a card for my hubby when we had our mmc cos he was so upset but felt he could not show his feelings cos I was so upset and he was looking after me and our young son. Everyone asked him how I was and no one asked him - basically the poem i found summed it up and I wanted him to realise I knew how he must be feeling. He was very touched.
I thought I would share it with you (hope you don't mind) It might sum up feelings your oh's are going through -

A Father's Grief
It must be very difficult
To be a man in grief,
Since "men don't cry"
and "men are strong"
No tears can bring relief.

It must be very difficult
To stand up to the test,
And field the calls and visitors
So she can get some rest.

They always ask if she's all right
And what she's going through.
But seldom take his hand and ask,
"My friend, but how are you?"

He hears her crying in the night
And thinks his heart will break.
He dries her tears and comforts her,
But "stays strong" for her sake.

It must be very difficult
To start each day anew.
And try to be so very brave-
He lost his baby too.
