In memory

I wanted to do something to remember this baby that I miscarried. My husband bought me a huge bouquet of flowers along with two little decorative butterflies, so I decided to use some of them for the picture I wanted to create. I took the photo, and after almost two hours of working on it (without saving), the program crashed. I am emotional right now, so I cried. Then my husband asked what I wanted to do with the photo and he did it for me. I hope you like this. It is in memory of this baby we miscarried who never had a chance to be.

All I have to remember you by
Is the memory of your heart beat
Seen flashing on a monitor,
And, with time, memories fade.

Little one, you were loved
And you were deeply wanted.
Your loss has caused me sorrow.
But, with time, tears dry.

I see you now, in my mind,
Cradled in God’s embrace.
My arms feel empty,
Yet, with time…
