Writing Again

When I was a kid I always wanted to be an author. I would write poems and short stories. I really loved it but I haven't written anything for a long time. Well, given recent events I felt like writing again and I wrote this poem.
Written June 4th,2010.

A Baby Today

I lost a baby today.
I stumble through the motions of life;
My body broken, my heart torn, my soul wounded.
I curl like a child on his lap and I sob.
Uncontrollable, gutwrenching; filled with the emptiness of my womb.
He holds me silent, words are of no comfort.
I feel the strength of his arms even as mine remain empty.

I lost a baby today.
A perfect baby boy with my name.
I’m empty. No tears fall.
Outward: strong for her.
Inward: loneliness to immense to bear.
His life so short, mine changed forever.
I feel my arms around her, this body so full of pain.
Broken and shattered; I feel alone.

We lost a baby today.
Our future unpredictable.
No laughter, no amazement, no baby to fill our lives.
Sadness instead.
This dream was but a moment, slipping away before our eyes.
A tiny body: perfect fingers, perfect toes, a perfect spirit.
Not meant for this world.
Each night a reminder.
Missing him terribly.
We feel alone; even as we are together.

Have we lost a baby today?
His life made perfect through the sacrifice divine.
Loneliness, broken hearts will heal.
Faith to carry us through.
An angel we have gained.
His precious body now joined with his pure soul.
With his Father and his Saviour.
Never to be alone.
Separate in mortality.
Bound in eternity.
Forever His arms encircle.
We feel peace.
