I'm sorry..I had to repost this for hopes that more people would read it.  Thanks

I wrote this poem after having a miscarriage in 1998.
                 Mommy, why?

Mommy, why'd you get rid of me?
You were going to be the first person for me to see
Would I have your smile or maybe your eyes?
Oh!  It wouldv'e been such a surprise.
I never got to see you or my dad.
Mommy, why?  I couldn't have been that bad.
Was I going to be a girl or a boy?
Either way, I wouldv'e brought you joy.
I wouldv'e made you laugh, smile, and even cry.
But I'm gone now.  Mommy, why?
Why'd you let me go?
What I look like, you'll never know.
Do you ever think about me?
Your baby, the one you'll never get to see.
Promise me you'll always love me.
Promise me you'll always remember me.
Why couldn't I have stayed?
If you didn't want me, why was I made?

Hi, I read your poem and felt your pain, I am so sorry to hear of you lose ... Just remember we don't chose these things, they just happen - mourn for your lose but never let it defeat you . Beautiful poem, thanks .

I'm sorry that I haven't read this before. Sometimes when the poems get posted, they are pushed down the page very fast and people miss them.....especially if there are a lot of posts at the same time.

I could feel the pain and emotion that you wrote this with. It was very touching to me. I hope that more people will get to read it this time. I truly hope that you are doing better than you were at the time this was written. It sounds like there is a lot of guilt on your part. I've never had a miscarriage, so I don't know the emotions that are felt after having one. My heart does go out to you, though.
Thank you for sharing this poem with us. You will be in my prayers.
