Pregnancy After a Loss: A Guide to Pregnancy After a Miscarriage, Stillbirth, or Infant Death |
Hello, little Stranger,
Nine scary months we shared,
Every kick and wiggle from you,
Every cramp and pain from me.
Each passing day, I hoped,
And longed to keep you safe,
I thought that when we met,
I'd know you... but I don't.
I knew what time you hiccoughed,
The steadiness of your heart,
But you... here in my arms,
I thought I'd never feel.
Hello, Little Stranger,
You stare right through my soul,
Am I... who you expected,
Floating in darkness... safe and warm?
I never thought... of your dark eyes,
or your perfect tiny ears,
Your face is so familiar,
Yet very much your own.
Little Stranger... many babies,
Never-to-be-know,
Have passed this way before,
To clear a path for you.
Hello, Little Stranger,
How very special are you,
This moment shared, your life begins,
Shattered dreams, now fulfilled.
