Just to Have You in My Arms Again

This is a choice of poems, readings and quotes to give comfort and support to anyone who has lost a baby to stillbirth, miscarriage or any other illness. As a mother, my eye breaks when I compile this list, but we have many clients who come up to the states deeply bereaved and are so grateful for the information they have found on our web log, and I promise that this list of poems and quotes may non only provide some small-scale amount of comfort but may also provide ideas for an epitaph or headstone quote.

Exercise non feel hurried, have your fourth dimension, and exist kind to yourself.

And nosotros should feel nothing but proud

And our hurting a lifetime will final

But make the states glad for the time we did have
Your face will always be subconscious
Deep inside our hearts
Each precious moment you gave usa
Shall never, ever depart
So go and run free with the angels
As they sing so tenderly
And please be sure to tell them
To have good care of you for me

Somewhere down beneath or in the heaven?

They but fix habitation within our dreams.'

Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith; it is the
price of love.

P'u - Hua Fei Hua

A blossom and non a flower; of mist and yet not of mist;
At midnight she was there; she went as daylight shone.
She came and for a piffling while was like a dream of bound,
And then, every bit morning clouds that vanish traceless,
she was gone

Po Chu - I

Each new life... No matter how frail or brief... Forever changes the world.

Look for me in Rainbows

Time for me to go at present, I won't say farewell;
Look for me in rainbows, way up in the sky.
In the morning sunrise when all the world is new,
Just look for me and dearest me, as you know I loved y'all.

Time for me to get out you, I won't say cheerio;
Look for me in rainbows, high up in the sky.
In the evening dusk, when all the world is through,
Simply look for me and love me, and I'll be close to you.

It won't exist forever, the solar day will come and and then
My loving arms will hold you, when we meet again.

Time for us to part at present, we won't say bye;
Look for me in rainbows, shining in the heaven.
Every waking moment, and all your whole life through
Just expect for me and dearest me, every bit yous know I loved you.

Just wish me to be nearly yous,
And I'll be there with you.

Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Honey never ends.

Corinthians xiii:vii-8

Listen...tin you hear it?
A heavenly choir sings.
Some other footling affections
Just got her set of wings.
There's joy and there is shouting
As she steps through heaven'due south gate.
They all lined up to greet her.
All the angels celebrate.
Her eyes are shining brightly
And a smile lights her confront,
Equally she receives her halo
And takes her special place.
She's the smallest piddling angel
With the biggest kind of love.
She'south wiser than an owl
And more peaceful than a dove.
And though in that location's joy in heaven,
There is sorrow down below.
broken hearts are crying
Since they had to let her go.
And so she watches them from heaven
Only she knows the time will come up,
They will join their precious daughter
When their piece of work on earth is washed

These are my footprints

These are my footprints, so perfect and then small.
These tiny footprints, never touched the ground at all.
Not one tiny footprint, for now I have my wings.

Gentle drops like angels tears, of joy and not from hurting.

I'll let you lot know I'm with you, if y'all requite me but a chance.
You volition run into my tiny footprints, in the rustle of the leaves.

Most of all, these tiny footprints, are found in mummy'southward eye,
'cause even though I'k gone now, we'll never truly role."

from On The Embankment At Nighttime

Cry not, child,
Weep not, my darling,
With these kisses let me remove your tears,
The ravening clouds shall non long be victorious,
They shall not long possess the heaven, they devour the stars just in apparition,
Jupiter shall emerge, be patient, scout again another night, the Pleiades shall emerge,
They are immortal, all those stars both silvery and gilt shall smooth out again,
The smashing stars and the petty ones shall shine out again, they suffer,
The vast immortal suns and the long-enduring pensive moons shall over again shine.

Walt Whitman

If Tears Could Build A Stairway

And undercover tears withal menstruum

But know nosotros know yous want us
To mourn for you no more than
To recall all the happy times
Life withal has much in store

Since you'll never exist forgotten
We pledge to you lot today
A hallowed place within our hearts
Is where you lot'll e'er stay

Fingerprints

Your fingerprints are on my heart.
Fingerprints that teach me about caring.
Fingerprints that teach me about love.
Fingerprints that teach me about backbone.
Fingerprints that teach me most hope.
Fingerprints that bring me closer to my loved ones.
Fingerprints that bring me closer to myself.
In the time I cared for you my whole life changed --

All this from tiny fingerprints that touch my middle.
Y'all will live in my heart forever - never to be forgotten.
I will always love y'all.
Yous are my child.

I Recall You

The world may never discover
If a rosebud doesn't blossom:
Or even pause to wonder if the petals autumn too shortly.

Only every life that ever forms,
Or always comes to be
Touches the World in some small mode
For all eternity.

The little ones we longed for
Were swiftly here and gone.
But the love that was then planted
Is a calorie-free that still shines on.

And though our arms are empty,
Our hearts know what to do
Every beating of my center says
"I Remember You"

And think of him as living

For cipher loved is always lost
And he was loved then much.

Equally you sweetly and quietly slept
And returned to heaven earlier we knew

Treasured memories nosotros'll concur forever dear

And though we weren't blessed to come across you grow upwards

And to hold yous lovingly in our arms
For just a little while

To be close to united states when nosotros long for you lot almost
For a part of our family yous'll always stay

When the happiness that has left us will never once again part
For when you left on affections's wings
You took with you the deepest honey in our hearts

Hers was the lamb shy early spring,
the gentle bud half opening,
but now unpetalled.
The primrose smile, the fairy ring
of laughter low-cal about her lips.

Hers was the youth of piffling things,
warm trust in all small feathered wings
but at present unfolded.
Wide-eyed as loving hands made strings
of daisies for her soft hairs crown.

Hers was springtime magic, bringing
music with pale harebells ringing
now an elegy.
Hers the countless summer singing
ours the winter of her going.

from Martial Cadenza

Simply tonight I saw again low in the heaven
The evening star, at the beginning of winter, the star

Again . . . every bit if it came back, as if life came back,
Not in a afterwards son, a different daughter, some other place,
But as if evening establish us immature, still young,
Even so walking in a present of our own.

Wallace Stevens

The child was a gift. The grief does not smother the gratitude. And expiry..is non the end. We grieve, but not as those who have no hope. Yet none says that since death is not the end, we should not grieve. Though grief does non smother promise, neither does hope smother grief.

You embrace my center and hold information technology shut,

There are many things I volition never get to do,

Early Death

She passed away like morning dew
Before the sun was high;
And then brief her time, she scarcely knew
The pregnant of a sigh.

As round the rose its soft perfume,
Sweet love around her floated;
Admired she grew - while mortal doom
Crept on, united nations-feared, un-noted.

Beloved was her guardian angel here,
But love to decease resigned her;
Though honey was kind, why should we fear
But holy death is kinder?

Hartley Coleridge

Don't Recollect of Them as Gone Away

Don't recall of them every bit gone away,
Their journeying has just begun.
Life holds so many facets,
This earth is only one.

Just think of them as resting,
From the sorrows and the tears.
In a place of warmth and comfort,
Where there are no days or years.

Call back of how they must be wishing,
That we could know today,
How nothing just our sadness
Tin can really pass abroad.

And think of them as living,
In the hearts of those they touched.
For nothing loved is ever lost,
And they were loved and so much!

Children Who Dice Are Not Really Gone

Children who die are not really gone,
Merely go to a place that is something like home,
Where they slumber the deep sleep, every bit repose as stone,
Until we tin join them when our lives are done.

Children who die are not really dead,
But just like adept children tucked into bed,
Wait the long wait while nosotros get ahead
Till our tales are all told and our tears are all shed.

Children who die feel no pleasure or pain
In the place where they look till they see us over again,
And all of us dance in a world washed with rain
Where the dominicus shines so brightly no sorrows remain.

Nicholas Gordon

As well Presently

This was a life that had hardly begun
No time to find your place in the Sunday
No time to practise all you lot could have done
But we loved you enough for a lifetime

No fourth dimension to enjoy the earth and its wealth
No time to take life downwardly off the shelf
No fourth dimension to sing the songs of yourself
Though you lot had plenty love for a lifetime

Those who live long endure sadness and tears
But you lot'll never suffer the sorrowing years
No betrayal, no acrimony, no hatred, no fears
Just love - Merely love - In your lifetime.

Mary Yarnall

How long with the pain last?

How long will the hurting terminal? " a broken-hearted mourner
asked me. 'All the rest of your Life.'
I have to answer truthfully.

Nosotros never quite forget. No matter how many
years pass, we remember.

The loss of a loved one is like a major functioning.
Part of us is removed, and we have a scar
for the remainder of our lives.
Every bit years go by, we manage.

There are things to exercise, people to treat, tasks that
call for full attending.
But the pain is still there, non far below the surface.

We encounter a face that looks familiar,
hear a voice that echoes, see a photograph in someone'due south
album, see a landscape that once we saw together, and it
seems equally though a knife were in the wound over again.

But not so painfully
And mixed with joy besides
Because remembering a happy fourth dimension is non all sorrow
it brings happiness with it

How long volition the pain last?
All the rest of your life
But the things to retrieve is that
not only the pain will last but,
the blessed memories every bit well

Tears are proof of life
the more love, the more tears
If this be true, then how could nosotros ever ask
That pain end all together
For so the retentivity of love would go with it
the hurting of grief is the cost we pay for dear!

A Child of Mine

I'll lend you lot for a piffling while
A kid of mine God said
For you to dear while he lives
And mourn for when he's dead

It may be six or seven years
Or 20 two or 3
Only will you 'til I call him dorsum
Take care of him for Me

He'll bring his charms to gladden you lot
And should his stay exist brief
You'll always take his memories
As a solace for your grief

I cannot promise he will stay
As all from earth render
But there are lessons taught down there
That I want this child to learn

I've looked this whole earth over
In my search for teachers truthful
And from the throngs that oversupply life's lane
I have chosen you

At present volition you requite him all your love
Nor recollect labour vain
Nor hate Me when I come to take
This lent child back once more?

I fancied that I heard them say
Dear Lord Thy Volition be washed
For all the joys Thy kid will bring
The risk of grief nosotros'll run

We'll shelter him with ternderness
We'll dear him while we may
And but for having loved him
Forever grateful stay

Only should the angels come for him
Much sooner than we planned
We'll dauntless the bitter grief that comes
And try, to understand

Fluff Upwards The Clouds

Call heaven there's an Angel
That'due south coming dwelling house today.
Our hearts are sad and broken
Because he couldn't stay.

Fluff up the clouds and lay him
Gently in your intendance.
Identify the tiny halo
Softly in his pilus.

Our artillery will never hold him again
Our lips will never kiss
The velvet of his cheeks again
We were not prepared for this.

In our hearts will be a tiny pigsty
Where always you will be.
Because we loved you and so much
Our hearts will e'er grieve.

I Do Not Remember My Song Will Finish

I do not call up my song volition stop
While flowers, grass and copse
Abound with birds and butterflies
For I am ane with these.

And I believe my phonation will audio
Upon the whispering current of air
And then long as even one remains
Amid those I call "friend."

I shall remain in hearts and minds
Of loved ones that I knew,
And in the rocks and hills and streams
Because I love those, too.

So long as dearest and hope and dreams
Abide in earth and sky,
Weep not for me, though I be gone.
I shall not really dice.

Trivial Footprints

How very softly you tiptoed into my world.
Most silently you stayed,
but what an imprint your footsteps
have left upon my heart
A heart of aureate stopped beating

God knew she had to leave usa,
but she did not get lonely.
For role of united states of america went with her,
the day He took her dwelling house.
To some she is forgotten,
to others…but the past,
only to us who loved and lost her
memories will always last.

How Do I Love Thee? (Sonnet 43)

How practice I beloved thee? Let me count the means.
I beloved thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I dearest thee to the level of every 24-hour interval's
Most placidity demand, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they plough from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to utilize
In my quondam griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I dearest thee with a dearest I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall just honey thee amend afterward expiry.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning, 1806 - 1861

Footling Angels

When God calls picayune children to dwell with Him above,
Nosotros mortals sometimes question the wisdom of His dearest.
For no heartache compares with the decease of i pocket-sized kid
Who does and so much to make our earth, seem wonderful and mild
Perhaps God tires of calling the anile to his fold,
And so He picks a rosebud earlier it tin grow old.

God knows how much we need them, and so He takes just few
To make the land of Heaven more beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult nonetheless somehow we must endeavour,
The saddest word flesh knows will always be "Goodbye."
Then when a niggling child departs, we who are left backside
Must realize God loves children, Angels are hard to find.

from The Prelude

..whether we be young or former,
Our destiny, our existence'southward eye and home,
Is with infinitude, and only there;
With hope it is, hope that tin can never dice,
Effort, and expectation, and want,
And something evermore about to be.

William Wordsworth

Everything passes and vanishes;
Everything leaves its trace;
And often y'all see in a footstep
What you lot could not run into in a confront.

Charles Dickens

from Romeo and Juliet

When he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in lilliputian stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the globe will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish dominicus.

William Shakespeare

Ii Headed boy

2 headed boy
There is no reason to grieve
The globe that yous need is wrapped in gold silver sleeves
Left beneath Christmas trees in the snow
And I will have you lot and leave you lot lone
Watching spirals of white softly menses
Over your eyelids and all you did
Volition look until the point when you let go

Lyrics past Neutral Milk Hotel

Holy Innocents

Sleep, little baby, sleep;
The holy Angels love thee,
And guard thy bed, and proceed
A blessed lookout man above thee.
No spirit can come nigh
Nor evil animal to harm thee:
Sleep, sweet, devoid of fear
Where zippo need alarm thee.

The love which doth not slumber,
The eternal Arms effectually thee:
The shepherd of the sheep
In perfect dearest hath found thee.
Sleep through the holy dark,
Christ-kept from snare and sorrow,
Until thou wake to lite
And love and warmth to-morrow.

Christina Rossetti

Only a little while

We were together
Just a petty while,
And we believed our love
Would last a thousand years.
