In Loving Memory of Bib


They say love is blind and you made this true.
I never got to place you in a outfit either pink or blue.
Never rocked you in my arms as you quietly slept.
Not one tear did i get to dry as you sadly wept.

I loved you none the less with all of my heart.
My world crashing down when we were torn apart.
I dream of you wrapped in a blanket of a white angel wing..
The lullaby you hear is the comfort I wanted to bring.

I stillhold you everyday the only way i know how.
God doesn't take my love for you this much he does allow.
It is as stong as it would have been if I would have seen you.
After my journey in life is done I will carry my love through.

It will carry me straight to you, you will never be hard to find.
We will be together and I will hold the love that was blind.
Looking into eyes that are mine that show a soul I made.
I will place you upon my chest where you always should have laid.

They say love is blind and you made this come true.
I will place you in an outfit either pink or blue.
I will rock you in my arms as you quietly sleep.
I will dry your tears as you happily weep.

This brought tears to my eyes and a lump to my throat....I could feel the love you have for your lost child, it weeps freely from each verse...you are so right in your child  being an angel. I know the pain of this kind of loss...and the strength my daughter still gives me from the other side. Her tiny face still visible every time I close my eyes,the smile she held even in her last moments. I treasure this image and will one day hug her again.

So very familiar were your sad words about your beautiful angel. My close friend lost her first baby who was stillborn.  She asked me to write something for her and I did.  I hope you don't mind if I send it to you in the hope that it helps you to deal with your tragic loss.  This was so very heartfelt and extremely moving.  Take care.....Sue

Even though this piece is extremely sad,
it is well penned.
You've done a wonderful job with expression, rhyme and flow.
I am so sorry for your loss.

Welcome to Passions, I hope you'll enjoy it here.

Welcome to Passions.  I share your grief, and I share your passion to write.  You say it may not be the best?  Oh, but it is, when it comes from the heart.  I hope to see more of you and your talents here. I think your child would approve...
