A child not born today
a tiny child, gone away
who’s footprint left so small a mark, it seems
Is a child not held today
No matter how much I would pay
This child’s only cradle is a dream
When that child’s not born today
I feel that imprint in a way
that lies beneath a surface you can’t see
For that tiny boy or girl
left a huge mark on this world
though the only world this child knew was me
Reflecting on my due date, just passed, after losing my baby at 17 weeks.

Hugs to you. I just lost my first pregnancy to miscarriage too. I’m doing okay right now, but I’m sure I’ll be a wreck when I get to the due date. Hope you’re doing alright.
Hugs to you. I lost my baby at 14 weeks and every year on december 23, which would have been their birthday is the hardest day for me.
