What I long for

A sadness comes over me whenever I think1

about what I long for small pretty and pink2

or maybe in blue it would come to me then3

that precious little bundle that God did not send.4

"I need her with me" he lovingly said5

"She will still love you" I heard as I laid in my bed6

but I wanted her here with me by my side7

I wanted to teach her and be a good guide.8

"She is ok my loving daughter9

in heaven with me is where I have brought her."10

But why oh why did you choose my child Lord11

my heart is ripped as if cut by a sword12

Don't you see don't you see this is more than I can bear13

for the baby from within was all I wanted to care14

to love and protect, to keep my small blessing15

she was pulled from my womb for which now I am stressing.16

But God how can I focus on you when my child is gone17

what have I done to deserve such a wrong.18

Was I a bad person who sinned way too much19

Was I doomed to this fate like a crippled mans crutch20

Can you as a loving God tell me please why21

you can say its ok for my child to die22

How can you know the pain I have been through23

"I know this my daughter because I've lost a child too"24

"My Son I have given to die on the cross25

he died for the sins of all of the lost26

He knew that someday an unborn child would die27

and because of this loss you would bitterly cry"28

"But to say that I don't understand your loss29

when I watched my son die on the cross30

When I had to turn my back to his fate31

Because of all of the sins to this date." 32

"Your child is healthy and happy and strong33

in Heaven with Jesus is where she belonged34

Someday you'll see her and through all your tears35

know she was happy with us all of those years."36

My loss is still great I can not pretend 37

but my babies in heaven have Jesus as a friend38

Someday I will see them all happy and free39

Where we will spend all eternity40

A sadness comes over me whenever I think41

about what I long for small pretty and pink42

that precious little bundle that God did not send43

But I think it has turned out ok in the end.44

    Nice one, Beka! I'm glad you won the contest!
    I agree about the pink writing, however- I had to highlight the whole poem just to read it. You also have a few grammatical errors, as you probably already knew, but those are easy to fix.
    And yes, the best poetry comes from the heart!

    Excellent

    I find the content awesome. Deep and heartfelt, provoking emotion from those on the "outside". Be careful with the backgrounds. I like the pink type but it is a bit hard to read against the background. I think the background certainly adds to the poems meaning, though. The poem; however, was good enough to make me want to overcome the inability to see clearly and squint my way through

    oh my. this is so heart felt. I'm way to young to know what it is like to have children but i do know that know no woman would really want to have their child die, no matter how old they are.
    i just started crying. this... wow... I can't get the words out right now.
    but thanks.
    thanks for entering this into my contest!
    I give you my prayers in this,
