Baby loss poems

Losing a baby is one of the most terrible things anyone can go through and sometimes there just isn’t enough words to convey how you’re feeling or to show someone you love that you’re there to support them.

…Sometimes all we can do is send a poem that comes from the heart.

Here are some of our favourite baby loss poems that we hope will help you…

An angel never dies

Don't let them say, I wasn't born

That something stopped my heart

I felt each tender squeeze you gave

I've loved you from the start.

Although my body you can't hold,

It doesn't mean I'm gone.

 

This world was worthy, not, of me

God chose that I move on.

I know the pain that drowns your soul,

What you are forced to face.

 

You have my word, I'll fill your arms

Someday we will embrace.

You'll hear that it was "meant to be,

God doesn't make mistakes"

But that won't soften your worst blow...

Or make your heart not ache.

 

I'm watching over all you do,

another child you'll bear.

Believe me when I say to you,

That I am always there.

 

There will come a time, I promise you

When you will hold my hand,

Stroke my face and kiss my lips

And then you'll understand.

 

Although, I've never breathed your air,

Or gazed into your eyes...

That doesn't mean I never "was"

An angel never dies.

A million times

A million times we've needed you,

A million times we've cried.

If love alone could have saved you,

You never would have died.

 

If all the world was ours to give,

We would give it yes, and more,

To see you coming up the steps,

And walking through the door.

 

To hear your voice and see your smile,

To sit and talk a while,

To be with you that same old way,

Would be our fondest day.

 

A heart of gold stopped beating,

Two smiling eyes closed to rest,

God broke our hearts to prove to us,

He only takes the best.

These are my footprints

These are my footprints,

So perfect and so small.

These tiny footprints,

Never touched the ground at all.

Not one tiny footprint,

For now I have my wings.

These tiny footprints were meant

For other things.

You will hear my tiny footprints,

In the patter of the rain.

Gentle drops like angel's tears,

Of joy and not from pain.

You will see my tiny footprints,

In each butterfly's lazy dance.

I'll let you know I'm with you,

If you just give me a chance.

You will see my tiny footprints,

In the rustle of the leaves.

I will whisper names into the wind,

And call each one that grieves.

Most of all, these tiny footprints,

Are found on mommy's heart.

'Cause even though I'm gone now,

We'll NEVER truly part.

The moment you left me

The moment that you left me,

My heart was split in two;

One side was filled with memories;

The other side died with you.

I often lay awake at night

When the world is fast asleep;

And take a walk down memory lane

With tears upon my cheek.

Remembering you is easy,

I do it every day;

But missing you is a heartache

That never goes away.

I hold you tightly within my heart

And there you will remain;

You see life has gone on without you,

But will never be the same.

My dear baby

There will never be a day that goes by, where I do not think of you.

I will always think about what you would have looked like

I will always wonder how it would have felt to hold you in my arms

I will always miss not having the chance to comfort you, soothe you and nurse you

I will always wonder what it would have been like to have you here with us.

 

My beautiful child,

I know your passing will teach me to be stronger

I know your passing will teach me to be more anchored in my faith

I know your passing will teach me to be more grateful for all that I have been blessed with.

 

For you my baby,

I will try and hold my head high and be strong because I was privileged enough to nurture you for those few precious weeks

I will always feel honored to have had experienced the miracle of carrying you in my womb.

I will never forget you

I love you

And I pray that I will be able to hold you, my beautiful baby when it comes my time to leave this world.
