Baby Loss Poetry

Little Snowdrop

The world may never notice If a Snowdrop doesn't bloom, Or even pause to wonder If the petals fall too soon.

But every life that ever forms, Or ever comes to be, Touches the world in some small way For all eternity.

The little one we longed for Was swiftly here and gone. But the love that was then planted Is a light that still shines on.

And though our arms are empty, Our hearts know what to do. For every beating of our hearts Says that we love you.

A Mother's Grief

You ask me how I'm feeling, but do you really want to know? The moment I try telling you, you say you have to go.

How can I tell you, what it's been like for me I am haunted, I am broken by things that you don't see.

You ask me how I'm holding up, but do you really care? The second I try to speak my heart, you start squirming in your chair.

Because I am so lonely, you see, no one comes around, I'll take the words I want to say and quietly choke them down.

Everyone avoids me now, because they don't know what to say They tell me I'll be there for you, then turn and walk away.

Call me if you need me, that's what everybody said, But how can I call you and scream into the phone, my child is dead.

No one will let me say the words I need to say Why does a mothers grief scare everyone away?

I am tired of pretending as my heart pounds in my chest, I say things to make you comfortable, but my soul finds no rest.

How can I tell you things, that are too sad to be told, of the helplessness I feel inside I am too afraid to be bold.

If you really love me, and I believe you do, if you really want to help me, here is what I need from you.

Sit down beside me, reach out and take my hand, Say "My friend, I've come to listen, I want to understand."

Just hold my hand and listen that's all you need to do, And if by chance I shed a tear, it's alright if you do too.
