I really understand. My niece was 36 weeks and she just lost her 1st. He pastaway before anyone could even hold him or even talk to him to tell him we Love him so much. I really do not know how we will get through this. God bless him and all the babies who have the same faith, and to all you mothers out there who have to go though this, it is not fair.

This is a beautiful poem. It is what I feel when people don't remember or even refer to my precious baby boy who was still born. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful and truthful poem!

Perfect Even In Death

No one remembers,
I cannot say why
Only thing I keep thinking
Is that nobody tried

You were mine, only mine
No one knew you like me
I don't know why He couldn't
Just let you be

We shared so much
In our short time together,
And the time that we shared
Has made memories forever

So much I learned,
So much I lost -
Everything turned, toppled
And tossed

Butterfly flutters, then turns
And kicks . . .
Then, that sad day . . .
Was my mind playing tricks?

No cry, no movement,
not even a Breath . . .
As you lay on my tummy -
Perfect even in death

When I think of you now
At the age you would be,
A beautiful "big boy"
Is the child I see

My son you were,
My son you'll always be
And One -
That is us;
You and Me

This poem really touched me. I just lost my first born a little boy. I was 7 months pregnant and hadnt had any problems. It reminds of how I felt that dreadful day of June 1, 2006 when I found out and about June 6, 2006 when I had my little boy. Its been really hard for me to accept his death, but reading about babies being in heaven and remembering the time I did have with him in my tummy really helps. Thank you for your poem.

This poem touched me. When I was 16 I gave birth to a stillborn baby boy. Although I was young it made a huge impact on my life. It also became a subject that my family isn't willing to discuss. It's as though I am the only one who remembers.
