Also a Mother - A Poem by Mich

It seemed a good day and that everything was fine.
I did my daily dreaming as I was speaking,speaking about the joy of my life.
Too busy to have realized...

And so later that night I could feel that something wasn't right,
and i started to fight.
"Lord please dont pass me by", I said.
I was feeling scared as i sat in bed.
I prayed and sang and moved about
waiting for the hours to bring back the light.

Morning finally arrived, my concern growing stronger.
I could not wait a minute longer.
In the doctors room, i looked at the screen.
I knew then i had lost my dream.
Then the words confirmed: "Im sorry but your baby is dead"

A million thoughts went through my head.
My son, my very first child, didnt even get the chance to live his life.
I only saw his face once then i had to say good bye.
I have to stop myself from asking why.

Now a part of me is gone forever.
I am living with a space, a space that should have been my child.
Now the pain is deep but i need to go on.
I need to be strong as the journey is long.

Some days i smile, others are harder.
But all I'm asking, is that you'll remember.
Remember that I am also, also a mother...

This is a poem I found On the new forum I am on. It so true. My child may be dead, but I am still a mother.
