[tri-wings] Re: Poem - and preg. update

Tears are streaming down my face right now.  What a lovely poem, LouAnn,
especially on the day that I had my first ultrasound.  We found out we
are having one baby that has a heartbeat and is measuring exactly to the
day where he or she should be.  What a blessing!  Now...on to the next
hurdle!
 

Hugs,

A DIFFERENT CHILD

A different child,

People notice

There's a special glow around you.

You grow

Surrounded by love,

Never doubting you are wanted;

Only look at the pride and joy

in your mother and father's eyes.

And if sometimes

Between the miles

There's a trace of tears,

One day

You'll understand.

You'll understand

There was once another child

A different child

Who was in their hopes and dreams.

That child will never outgrow the baby clothes

That child will never keep them up at night

In fact, that child will never be any trouble at all.

Except sometimes, in a silent moment,

When mother and father miss so much

That different child.

May hope and love wrap you warmly

And may you learn the lesson forever

How infinitely precious

How infinitely fragile

Is this life on earth

One day, as a young man or woman

You may see another mother's tears

Another father's silent grief

Then you, and you alone

Will understand

And offer the greatest comfort.

When all hope seems lost,

You will tell them

With great compassion,

"I know how you feel,

I'm only here

Because my mother tried again."
