i had a miscarriage 5 years ago (when i was 16) but due to the circumstances at the time it never got acknowledged. Today i will be having a ceremony to bring peace to my baby's spirit. I wrote this poem which i'll be reading today:

an angel slept close to my heart
but couldn't stay too long
Fate held this little hand
and asked me to stay strong

A tiny gift and treasure
I had no chance to meet
to hold so close
and count the toes
on this angels little feet

when i think about your heart
beating under mine
i think about what you'd become
if only we had time

mother nature knows what she is doing
and what is ment to be
her secret little plans
may she one day let me see

a little life so close to mine
but i'd never hold your hand
a heartache from within me
so little will understand

The world is tough my little one
and as strong as i know you'd be
you've been spared the trials of earth
and sent straight up to be free

the world couldn't feel your presence
but i felt it from the start
and forever while your resting
you'll be safely in my heart.
