This Mother's Day-a poem

I wrote this on my first Mother's day as a mother of an angel. This year will be another lonely Mother's Day but I do have a rapidly filling belly....
Hopefully those of you with Empty Arms on Sunday can get some solace from reading this poem. Perhaps it will help you find a reason to smile through the tears for your precious child.

This Mother’s Day
I’ll cry
I’ll hold my head
In my arms
And weep

I’ll watch others
Holding children
In loving arms
Smiling
And I’ll weep

I’ll think of
What should have been
Holding you
Smiling
And I’ll weep

No day should be
Where a mother
Is not one
Smiling
And I’ll weep

I’ll think of
You darling
In my arms
Silent
And I’ll smile

:hug: thanks for posting. I'm another who should have a baby in my arms this Mothers' Day and I'm really not looking forward to it.

Hugs Hun thankyou for sharing

Beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing xx

That's beautiful hun, thank you for sharing. It will be my 3rd Mother's Day without my angel :( It always is a sad day but now a lot more happier with my wee man by my side. I know Josh will be smiling down on us.

I have spent a very quiet day thinking of my little Ellen and wondering what she'd be doing with me today.
I hope some of you have found a way to smile through the tears.
