A poem I wrote as a young man after my five-year-old cousin passed, which felt as if God was speaking through me. The parents said it was a saving grace.
I lost my first son at 21 weeks of pregnancy. He was fully formed on the outside but not internally. I was deeply saddened for a long time at the thought that I would never get to know him other than the experience of feeling him move around inside of me for that short period of time. I have since come to understand that he just wasn’t ready to be born and I know he is in a place of pure love and I can’t ask for more than that. Thank you for your beautiful poem!
Hi Trudy, I'm really sorry that you experienced this sad loss. I must comment that your words indicate a deep understanding and spiritual knowing that resulted from the experience. I agree with what you wrote, and no doubt your son's passing became the catalyst for it. In that way, his brief existence and death affected your life in profound ways. It is part of his soul's gift to you. Thank you for sharing. I'm glad the poem resonated with you.
Well Bob.... I'm always left almost speechless by your gifted use of words. In 2020, I first lost my 30 yo grandson, then his mom (my daughter) passed long before her time. Both heart problems. Next was my husband of 36 yrs. His was not a surprise and he was ready but my pain was as you would imagine.
I'll be sharing your beautiful, heartfelt poem to several people for who it will resonate. ❤️
