firstly I know exactly how you are feeling my first mothers day without Katy was so hard, but I got thru it as will we all celebrate the birth of your children for even though they are not with us in a physical sense their spirit will live on, they are here, in the whisper of the breeze, in the everlasting sunset, in the smell of rain, our babies are with us forever


Am I Not A Mother?

by Gail Fasolo

Am I not a mother
On this Mother's Day?
I had a baby, but she's gone.
Death took her away.

Hopes and dreams have vanished
a happy time turned cold.
My motherhood-where is it now?
Gone? Or put on hold?

Am I not a mother
even though my child died?
Does anyone know my heartbreak
or the anguish felt inside?

Special gifts and flowers
but who'll remember me?
As I stand and shed some tears
at your graveside where I'll be.

Mother's Day-so painful
but I will make it through.
Yes, I am a mother!
but God takes care of you.
loving you forever my sweet Katy Rose
