This crying won't dry soon son Though my eyes may hurt from time to time For the fear of loneliness, no laughter, no joy Caused by no sound of my child's cry Feelings going through my fingertips A minds fullness of memories flying by But even through the longings of holding you There's never a goodbye Never needing or wanting more to hold you so near Or for the tender touch, letting you know that I'm there The fear when you fall or stumble so hard Though I knew why you were cold, wanting to make you warm My heart beats for two now son Me and you, we're always together I dream of you as I pray for you For our parting will never be forever

About this poem:
I wrote this for my son Taison who was stillborn on 2/2/2006. He was full term with 23 days until he was due. My heart still aches so very much for him still, but he gives me a form of peace I've never experienced before. I love talking about him to anyone so I don't mind anyone asking. Thanks for reading.
every time that I read such offering from a mother about her child, my petty problems seem so insignificant. the pain that many go through, and of which they shall forever carry, fills me with awe of the strength, fortitude, and sheer will of mothers. it's difficult to comprehend how one may ever be at peace again. time passes...and I suppose that the hurt may ease somewhat...though it is impossible to understand how...thank you for sharing...honestloyalme...

He just had a very 'short' physical contract to fulfil; he is being raised up in the spirit world, often your own family will be involved. It is a very happy place to grow to maturity, full of love, light and learning. Notice little one's are happy and trusting? That's is because they are fresh from the spirit world and as yet have not been pulled down by this place. You will meet.

Very well written..poems are never better written than when written in sadness, or loss of some sort....You will meet your son again one day..but not yet...
H, C, & K said how we all feel. Best to you honestloyalme, and your son Taison.
