To my Unborn

by Erica Flemming   Apr 10, 2012


Everyday I miss the memories of what was meant of your life
The purest joy of a kick could not compare to anything else on earth
My life became your life
My body became your thron
My heart became your lullaby
My blood became your essence
Your name became my favorite word
Your presence became my harmony
I no longer lived for myself but for you my first child

The day the doctor had told me you had taken your soul home, I felt a part of my life end
No longer would i feel those oh so welcoming kicks of what was to come and reassurance
No longer would I be able to watch my future, my world, my daugther grow

I wouldnt be able to hold your hand on the first day of school
Teach you about boys and how to act like a lady
Play hide and seek or house
Youd never smile your first smile or laugh your first laugh
Youd never look up to my and say momma I love you

Your body has decimated into ashes but your memory and spirit live on
Everyday I am reminded of the pain of loosing you
I strive to be a better woman because of you
Altho you are in a better place there is nothing I wouldnt give to join you

What I wouldnt give for even a second of your presence. To be able to look down into those beautiful eyes and tell you daugther MOMMY LOVES YOU!!!!

    "Everyday I miss the memories of what was
    meant of your life"
    Wow. Great start. The sorrow/grief of a mother to her child's death is one of the saddest things on earth.

    "The purest joy of a kick could not compare
    to anything else on earth"
    This made me smile. I remember my mum telling me about when she was pregnant. I'll never forget the smile on her face for as long as I live :)

    "My life became your life
    My body became your thron
    My heart became your lullaby
    My blood became your essence"
    Thron? Did you mean throne?
    This is a beautiful stanza. So heart-warming.

    "Your name became my favorite word
    Your presence became my harmony
    I no longer lived for myself but for you my
    first child"
    Well-written.

    "The day the doctor had told me you had
    taken your soul home, I felt a part of my life
    end
    Nolonger would i feel those oh so
    welcoming kicks of what was to come and
    reassurance"
    Gawd. This is so sad. Really broke my heart.. I'm sorry.

    "No longer would I be able to watch my
    future, my world, my daugther grow
    I wouldnt be able to hold your hand on the
    first day of school
    Teach you about boys and how to act like a
    lady
    Play hide and seek or house
    Youd never smile your first smile or laugh
    your first laugh
    Youd never look up to my and say momma I
    love you"
    This is sad..

    "Yourbody has decimated into ashes but
    your memory and spirit live on"
    I like the hope here.. The slight optimism

    "Everyday I am reminded of the pain of
    loosing you
    I strive to be a better woman because of
    you"
    loosing should be losing.
    Other than than, great word choice.

    "Altho you are in a better place there is
    nothing I wouldnt give to join you
    What I wouldnt give for even a seco nd of
    your presence. To be able to look down into
    those beautiful eyes and tell you daugther
    MOMMY LOVES YOU!!!!"
    Altho should be although
    I love the ending. The way you consistently had the emotion fill each word throughout the poem is amazing.

    Great job! Keep writing :)
