Something I love Saturday II

I am dedicating this blog to my baby girl who lives in heaven. She is the inspiration for pretty much everything I do these days.   My blog is a way to keep HER alive and to keep ME sane. I want to be able to look back on this a year from now and see that although my heart aches to see and hold her, life goes on and I HAVE found happiness again. 

And since this is 'Something I Love Saturday' I want to share a poem I found....

             Loved From the Start

I’ve loved my child right from the start

A feeling that’s filled my entire heart
I went through the labor and suffered the pain
For many long hours with nothing to gain
I’ve spent sleepless nights being awake
Though it’s been a while my arms they still ache
I’ve sat and I’ve wondered of how she would grow
The love of my family that  she’d come to know
The sound of her voice as she learns to talk
Watching her steps as she tries to walk
I have a child that I really love so
I am her mother yet nobody knows
I spent all those months feeling her grow
I’ve lived through it all and have nothing to show
I don’t get invited to chat with young mothers
Because I don’t have a baby like all of the others
I’ve got some stretch marks that I’d like to hide
But I don’t have a pram with a baby inside
The people I’ve known for so many years
They now avoid me, which adds to my tears
I don’t know how long I’ll be feeling like this
But one thing I know my baby I miss
When Mothers Day comes it will be very hard
I won’t have any flowers – not even a card
And just because she’s not here with me
I still have a daughter I wish I could see
But one thing I know and this is for sure
I’ll be her mother for evermore.
