so yesterday was Pregnancy and Infant loss awareness day in Canada. a day to remember still births, miscarriages, and infants lost to things like SIDS. well, as many here may have seen I have a son in Uni. but what ive never shared is that my ex and I lost another son. he was a miscarriage, and his name was Joey. I took part in what was called a wave of light across Canada by lighting a candle for my little boy. and I took my talent and wrote a poem for him that i'll present at a poetry meeting this weekend. For Joey Smiles and giggles Never seen and barely heard Touches like a whisp of mist Kisses like butterfly wings Hugs of the heart Across time and space The light that glows from a child’s face Love that flows with childlike grace Sorrow that breaks a mother’s heart Pain that rends a soul in two A love that flows between me and you A pride that swells now that I can see your heart A bond that grows Across veil and mist Through time and space Past pain and loss A child thought lost and a love well mourned Souls that cross to visit the mortal Moms who quest and seek his spirit Souls thought lost but ties immortal My son, I love you.
"Souls thought lost but ties immortal" Your verse is very touching and I thank you for sharing your heart. We need more poetic intervention to promote healing. Your poem is a healing art.
