"I am a mother"

[Butterfly Child]

This poem really touched me, i pondered on whether to put it in the loss/miscarrige section but just wasnt sure. i just had to share it, it was way to special not to xx

I Am A Mother
I’ve loved my child right from the start
A feeling thats filled my entire heart
I went through the labour and suffered the pain
For many long hours with nothing to gain
I’ve spent sleepless nights being awake
Though its been a while my arms they still ache
I’ve sat and I’ve wondered of how she would grow
The love of my family that shed come to know
The sound of her voice as she learns to talk
Watching her steps as she ties to walk
I have a child that I really love so
I am her mother yet nobody knows
I spent all those months feeling her grow
I’ve lived through it all and have nothing to show
I don’t get invited to chat with young mothers
Because I don’t have a baby like all of the others
I’ve got some stretch marks that Id like to hide
But I don’t have a pram with a baby inside
The people I’ve known for so many years
They now avoid me, which adds to my tears
I don’t know how long Ill be feeling like this
But one thing I know my baby I miss
When Mothers Day comes it will be very hard
I wont have any flowers not even a card
And just because she’s not here with me
I still have a daughter I wish I could see
But one thing I know and this is for sure
Ill be her mother for evermore

Oh, tears have welled up in my eyes reading that.

Makes me want to go in and give the kids a kiss and a cuddle each...

Thanks for sharing!
