In my last post I touched briefly on my experience when I miscarried my 1st baby. I ran across this poem in Mothering magazine and I wanted to dedicate it to the memories of the babys I have lost and for those of you out there who have also experienced loss.... Nobody Knew You
Nobody knew you
"Sorry about the miscarriage dear, but you couldn't have been very far along."
...existed.
Nobody knew you
"It's not as though you lost an actual person."
...were real
Nobody knew you
"Well it probably wasn't a viable fetus.
It's all for the best."
...were perfect.
Nobody knew you
"You can always have another!"
...were unique.
Nobody knew you
"You already have a beautiful child. Be happy!"
...were loved for yourself.
Nobody knew you
...but us.
And we will always remember
...You.
