    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

    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.

    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.
