ER Disappointment

Miscarriage Poems

Now is just not your time, little one

Though it seemed your life had just begun.

I've learned before about these things

Sometimes even the smallest angels get their wings.

It's difficult to know that you're still inside me

But my first child you never will be.

We will not rush to the hospital to deliver you

Around the time that I would have been due.

Daddy will not count with me as he holds my leg

"Pain Meds Please" I will not beg.

I will join you though someday, you see

When God decides to send for me.

Now is not your time, sweet little girl

But you will live on in my heart, and my world.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this one while in the Emergency Room's waiting room. I was in the middle of a miscarriage and it helped keep me calm, for a little while.
