Poems On Loss

Little Snowdrop
T he 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 long 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.
Every beating of our hearts
Says that we do love you!


Poem Unknown
If tears could build a stairway
And memories a lane,
I would walk right up to Heaven
And bring you back again.

No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say “Goodbye”.
You were gone before we knew it,
And no one knows why.

My heart still aches with sadness,
And secret tears will flow.
What it meant to love you-
No one can ever know.

But now I know you want me
To mourn for you no more.
To remember all the happy times,
Life still has much in store.

Since you’ll never be forgotten,
I pledge to you today-
A hollowed place within my heart
Is where you’ll always stay.

To the Child of My Heart

O precious, tiny sweet little one
You will always be to me
So perfect, pure and innocent
Just as you were meant to be.

We dreamed of you and of your life
And all that it would be
We waited and longed for you to
Come and join our family.

We never had the chance to play.
To laugh, to rock, to wiggle
We long to hold you, touch you
And to listen to you giggle.

I will always be your mother,
He’ll always be your dad.
You will always be our child,
The child that we had.

But now you’re gone…
But yet you’re here.
You are our sorrow and our joy,
There’s love in every tear.

Just know our love goes deep and strong,
We’ll forget you never.
The child we had, but never had,
And yet will have forever.
