    My Unborn Child

     I sit here with grief
    As each day passes by
    My heart in dispair
    I can't help but cry

    A child of mine
    I never will know
    No pictures to take
    or seeing him grow

    I held his little body
    on that fateful day
    I cried in pain
    When they took him away

    A ring, some pictures
    they gave me that November
    A lock of his hair
    for me to remember

    All of these things
    Can't even compare
    To having you here
    a child so rare

    My unborn child
    you weren't meant to live
    No kisses to take
    No hugs to give

    The pain that I feel
    will never subside
    My heart, it is breaking
    I'm dying inside

    I hope that one day
    I can understand why
    He was taken away
    before he could cry

    I know that in time
    My heart will grow strong
    To cope with the hurt
    this terrible wrong

    To my unborn child
    My life I would give
    If I thought for one second
    That he could now live

    Perhaps one of the redeeming effects of this awful tragedy is that it has allowed you to create this beautiful poem of such heartfelt poignance as to touch even the hardest of hearts. May God bless you & heal your wounds.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
