My Baby Boy

Today my little baby boy was taken away,
from my arms to my heart where he is forever going to stay.

As i am holding your fragile body in my arms
A million thoughts run through my mind.
Sadness, anger, fear,
and a depression of the worst kind.

Watching your heart beat, as a part of me slowly starts to die.
I want you to breathe,
why can't they make you cry.
I can't give up, though i know there's nothing i can do.
It's breaking my heart,
knowing I'm going to lose you.

Every day I wish you wouldn't
have been taken from me
but I can't help but cry,
because you were never meant to be.

****************************************************************************************************************************************** The story behind this poem is at 17 weeks pregnant(4 months) and i went to the hospital complaining of cramping and bleeding and they told me that my cervix was too weak and i couldn't carry my baby to full term, before they could do anything my water broke and my baby was born, he wasn't supposed to even make it through birth but amazingly he did and he lived for an hour and ten minutes until he left this world heading for a much better place. Even though he was only in my womb I still cherish the memories i do have of my baby boy...and with that said the only thing left to say is that for those people who are expecting and do have children, do not take them for granted because after you have lost a child at any age or at any stage in your pregnancy it is just as traumatizing as losing a 3 year old or a 25 year old child..and alot of the parents out there take for granted the time you have with your kids is very precious....let them know that you love them every single day, because you never know what tomorrow will bring.
