I know the silent agony of empty arms where life should be an angel that when birthed breathed soft, then left the earth. The nursery now a nightmare so bright with blinding light, as the precious child in my arms fought desparately for life. I screamed at God that night how dare He do this thing! To steal the breath from child why must she feel the sting! She laid gentle in my arms yet her struggle so apparent I raged with her through tears wretched horror for this parent. She looked so peaceful just then took one last breath of mine. She ceased to breathe, it's done but it was me who died. WhiteRose |

Thank you Julie for being the only person to read and respond. Just that was enough. Your words at least made me feel she was not written of in vain, nor forgotten. I really appreciate your continued support of my work. You're a dear. |

I cannot imagine a pain more unbearable than the loss of a child, and the loss of the dreams and hopes you had for her. What a beautiful name you chose for her. You have penned this straight from the heart, and very well I might say. Hugs to you, and may you find peace someday. There is a special place in heaven for babies, but I don’t think that makes up for not having them down here. You can never win or lose |

Sometimes life and death are so unfair... I cannot imagine the pain and torment a parent goes through when losing a child. God bless you & your precious angel...for she must be looking down on you now. BlueEyes |

It seems the more gifts one has in life, the more trials and tribulations one must endure. The pain of this loss has been imprinted upon your soul. These emotions go into the well from which a writer draws on. There is no doubt that you have been gifted as an effective portrayor of life through your written words. The tragic loss of your precious Alicia, has been painfully added to that well. Your little angel is smiling down at you for this tender outpouring of love for her. Take care, sweet poetess. Take care. Linda |

WhiteRose, I'm so sorry that you had to go through this. This is so sad. You did an excellent job of portraying your feelings. I love your little angels name, too. Sorry, I missed this poem before. It is beautiful. You are such a sweet person and have so much love in your heart. I'm looking forward to more of your work. With Love And Best Wishes, Ethel |
