I Remember You...

I Remember You...

A Poem by SM Davis

My Baby,

 

I sit here now and remember you...


I didn't appreciate you when you were here
your memory is still so crisp and so clear
I remember your hair and imagine your eyes
but even more I feel that which ties

me to you after all these years
the moments we had so worth the tears
you were my hope and my shining star
you were more than what so many are

your touch was gentle and felt within
you gave me hope when I couldn't win
you were perfection prime my life anew
and now that you're gone I remember you

with you inside I was never alone
I faced the world to which I fell prone
You were my baby and my life meant so
much to me because you were in tow

now that you're gone, my daughter I know
that you were my angel in such sorrow
I was so young and you died before birth
I burn for you now knowing your worth

a priceless gift to me you came
but couldn't be born from all the shame
be free now my baby, and wait for me now
when in heaven we meet, you'll tell me how

your life with the Father is glory abounding
and the day that we meet will be astounding
your beauty I'll see and know right away
why He saw fit to take you that day

I love you Tiffany my daughter so sweet
you were born still but one day we will meet
I will take you into my arms and hold long
your angelic body and sing you a song

On this day you were born and died
twenty six years for you have I cried
no tears fall today as I remember you well
my heart for you though always will swell

I love you.  Remember me too,

MOM

I miscarred my first child - I had a piece on here but it was lost in the Great Delete - a hard time for you I know, and thirteen is so young too - that must have been so hard for you. This is a beautiful tribute for your little girl -

*hugs to you*

Sorry for your loss, I too have lost little ones (I miscarried my son at 14 and I miscarried my daughter when I was 23) so I can somewhat to relate to the sense of grief surrounding that.

This was a very moving and beautiful tribute.

As for the poem itself, I really admire your ability to rhyme consistently!

This poem was absolutely amazing. If you find it believeable i actually cried when I read it. You captured so much emotion in these words. You expressed how you felt in so many different ways. This poem is just...Perfect. Absolutely perfect, I love it. I'll be looking forward to reading more of your work.

Wow...this is an amazing tribute of love to your baby. Wish I was able to write something so beautiful for my lost babies, but the words just do not come forth. Thanks for sharing with us and entering the Missing Him, Missing Her contest.

Sweetheart,I sat and cried tears for you,your family,and mine too,because my little granddaughter(Abby) was 6 months old when the lord took her from her pain,our pain too.she was injured at birth ,starting out a full term,81/2 lb baby,that
because of a doctors failure to take action,neglectfully she was without oxygen for so long that she suffered many terrible birth defects...she was blind ,she couldn't cry or suck a bottle, and was so crippled it was hard to change her little diaper .she had a feeding tube and we had to suction her nose and throat every 5 minutes or so for the whole time she lived,because she had no swallowing capability at all,therefore she would choke ,if not suctioned.my son was devastated and my daughter-in-law went nuts ,you might say .but even being as young as they were,18 for her and 19 for him,they wanted to provide her care and not put her away in a nursing facility till she passed .which was inevitable in her condition.I helped a lot with her everyday,for they had to work some...I know the hurt you feel and the
empty feeling that comes out of the blue sometime.we lost our Abby in June 2004,seems like today still!
so sweetie please stay strong and know I will think of you and pray for your comfort as I continue to do so for my family.I do believe Abby is perfect now ..God Bless you and yours!..Diana PS..congrats on your win..it was a beautiful poem and it came from your heart,the most beautiful stuff written comes from there.I loved it!

I am so sorry for your loss and I truly believe that your daughter sees you and the beautiful woman that you are! :) This poem right here just shows that! This is so priceless and I hope that you can find some comfort in knowing that she is with God! One luv to you and Tiffany! :)

Oh, bless your heart. I relate to you. My eyes full of tears as I try to read it. God doesn't take life, but he did give her eternal life with Him and you'll see her again. God can heal your broken heart, he did mine. But there are still memories.
Thanks for sharing. I'm sure someone needing to see hope in this type of situation will be encouraged after reading this.

Such courage and strength. Unconditional love, unwaivering through the years, yet tempered with wisdom and softness that only comes from time. I can only imagine the comfort your thirteen-year-old self would receive reading these words from you.

Blessings...
