I've never written you down
I carry you in my head
For you were never born
A part of me now dead
What hurt the most
Was that you were no 4
People would ask me
What did you do that for?
How very dare they
Think that to me you were less
A life inside of me
Is a gift that I am blessed
It's so very amazing
No matter how many times
Yes I was stunned
When I saw those two blue lines
We thought we were done
No more kids for us
Then you happened
It caused a bit of fuss
If I'm honest I did wonder
Whether I could cope?
Would I consider no you?
That is a definite..nope
Deep within me though
I sensed something not right
The feeling never left me
I hoped and prayed it might
At seven weeks pregnant
At work I began to bleed
They wanted to send me home
This advice I did heed
I went to my friends
Who cared for me there
As long as I wasn't alone
I really didn't care
Then again more hurt
For people were so blasé
To them you were nothing
A life with no say
That is what still hurts
That you were brushed aside
But you were a life
That I carried inside
You were a seven week life
So people didn't care
So about you and me
I didn't speak or share
I shed tears for you
Remember you so dear
Boy or girl, I do not know
You were loved, that is clear
So here is my poem
A necessary write
That you're never forgotten
My precious little life
