Okay so this isn't the most uplifting post but it's one that I've been thinking about a lot. We've been seriously blessed since being here in Hawaii to have two healthy babies. And for those of you that really know me know how hard that really is. I found this little poem and it really "spoke" to me. I have many a friend that have been in this same situation of loosing babies before you got to hold them. This talks about Mommies but it's also for the daddies too. This is even more hard for a couple to deal with and try to understand.
This is the start of our scrapbook for our 8 others.
Can you be a mommy if your baby is not with you?
I thought of you and closed my eyes, and prayed to God today.
I asked what makes a Mother, and I know I heard him say:
A mother has a baby, this we know is true.
But, God, can you be a mother,
When your baby's not with you?
Yes, you can he replied, with confidence in his voice.
I give many women babies, when they leave is not
their choice.
Some I send for a lifetime, and others for a day.
And some I send to feel your womb, but there's no need to stay.
I just don't understand this God, I want my baby here. He took a breath and cleared his throat, and then I saw a tear.
I wish that I could show you what your child is doing today.
If you could see your child smile, with other children who say;
We go to earth and learn our lessons, of love and life and fear.
My mommy loved me oh so much, I Have to come straight here.
I feel so lucky to have a mom, who had so much love for me.
I learned my lesson very quickly, my mommy set me free.
I miss my mommy oh so much, but I visit her each day.
When she goes to sleep on her pillow where I lay.
I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek, and whisper in her ear.
"Mommy don't be sad today, I'm your baby and I am here."
So you see my dear sweet one, your children are okay.
Your babies are here in my home, they'll be at heavens gate for you.
So now you see what makes a mother.
It's the feeling in your heart.
It's the love that you had so much of, right form the very start.
Though some on earth may not realize your are a mother,
until their time is done.
They'll be up here with me one day, and you'll know
that your'e the best one!
