Silent losses

Verse.....  "Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands."  Isaiah 49:15-16







Thought for today...  Much of human history is marked by the presence of beings who help us to be more than we are.  We call these beings angels.  We look for their presence but sometimes forget to see.

Silent Losses

by Chris Dixon

Silent losses I have suffered.


Ones that most can't see.

From the moment I knew she was there,

she was a part of me.



They said she was a fetus,

but I know thats not true.

They did not feel the things I felt,



or know the things I knew.



Someone who's never felt a baby

growing deep inside,

cannot possibly understand

a mothers joy and pride.



Each day I held my tummy

and spoke to my little one.





A life alone in darkness,

she had become my sun.



I lived for her

I breathed for her

I dreamed of her each night.



Longing for her day of birth,

when I could hold her tight.



But then,

my dreams were shattered.

My baby went away.

A pool of blood beneath me

I fell to my knees and prayed.



Please Dear God, I beg of you

Do not take her from me,

She's all I ever wanted

All I will ever be.



Spontaneous Abortion

is what the doctors say

nothing to be concerned about,

its mother natures way.



Some people tried to comfort me

some said it's for the best.

With the first they said I was too young,

but what about the rest?



She was the first of many.

Taken to God above.

Although they are not here with me

I give them all my love.



No one seems to understand

the losses I have felt.

Sometime I just can't deal with

the cards that I've been dealt.



How can I be a woman

if a child I can't bear?



So many silent losses

yet no one seems to care.
