    God's Chosen Gift


    I carried you…close to my heart
    Not knowing how much I was loving you…already.

    I named you…before we met
    Knowing your name would change…once more.

    I sang you…songs of "Sunshine"
    And I could feel you dancing…inside me.

    I pushed you…into this world
    And I swear I heard you cry…"mommy!"

    I held you…for the first time
    Still covered with my blood…and I cried.

    I told you…through the tears
    Of my dreams for your future…without me.

    I kissed you…all over your face
    Your legs, your arms, your hair…bitter-sweet.

    I begged you…to forgive me
    Praying you would understand…my life.

    I gave you…to another
    I cannot speak yet of the pain…the pain.

    I loved you…the way you love someone
    When you know you're gonna lose them …I loved you hard.

    I remember you…squeezing my finger
    As though pleading me to hang on…for us.

    I saw you…look me in the eyes
    As I placed you in her arms…good-bye

    I miss you…I can still smell you
    Fresh and newborn and mine…(I'm screaming)

    I love you…I will ALWAYS love you
    They told me they would tell you…how I love you.

    What a wonderfull act of love. Even if told, there is no way that he can ever know the totality of your love and the gift the you gave not only to him but to his parents. My wife and I are trying to adopt and it is so hard. I can't wait untill we meet an angel like you. Thanks for sharing your story.

    Dear Shadow...thank you. I pray you will hold in your arms the child you long for. And that the child will always know your love. Blessings to you and your wife.

    It hurt me to read that. You're very talented. I hope to see another piece of yours soon.

    painful for any mother to have to go through and reading this makes you wonder why people abandon fetus or newborns the way they do, i felt every word as i read as if i was the mother. i love it

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
