Beckon me no further
For I am not to be tempted
They say "Thou shalt not lie"
But you have committed your own wronging
What was so important?
What was so needed of this child
That wou wanted her so badly
To take her away from her mother?
They say "Thou shalt not murder"
But you have committed your own wronging
Was it that she was the angel you needed?
Was it that she was so wise and true?
That you wanted her so badly
To take her away from her father?
Many love her, as much as you
Oh father, what was your meaning?
They say we all have our time
Her's was not up
What was the reason?
What was the price?
To take away a child
Our angel of entice
------- Author's Notes -------
This is to my friend, whom I haven't spoken to in a while. This is to his unborn child, who had died at birth. |

| Scorpio (67.162.95.179) -- Tuesday, August 3 2004, 08:13 pm He has been a good friend for years, and when I heard he and his girlfriend had one on the way, I was very happy to hear another one would be on the way. So far, I have a niece with a disease, and a little cousin, both whom I love very much. I was really hoping for this one, and I got a call that she died during child birth. Not even half way through it and she dies. I feel sorry for your husband, that must be hard. Hope all goes well for you both and thank you very much for your comment. |
| Meridian (205.188.116.200) -- Tuesday, August 3 2004, 08:54 pm The way your poem starts off, "Beckon me no further".... Gosh! This almost breaks my heart in two... I knew a girl who experienced the same thing... And I can only imagine how tough that is to hear that your child didn't make it... That really brings a person down, hearing about a little form of life, has just deceased.... Never got to see the world, never got to live outside the womb.... This tears me up inside.... Once again, Bravo dedication, and perfect! My eyes are getting a little watery.... Thanks for sharing your heartfelt poem entitled, "Questions".... May God continue to bless them and may Heaven smile upon them-----and you too! Smiles, Meri |
| Terrie* (65.135.86.92) -- Tuesday, August 3 2004, 08:55 pm you sharing such a lovely poem was enough..i am sorry to hear 'bout your niece,spend time w/her make memories... your reply sent a chill upon me, guess the angels were trying to comfort me..yes to lose a child can torment ones heart as devastating as it is..i was one of the fortunate ones i miscarried before i had a chance to hold them in my arms, even though i felt life inside ,i think a mother whom loses a child after getting to know them experiences a bigger heartbreak.. i learned to accept my blessings.. after i shared a room w/a woman whom lost one of her twins in childbirth. for my huisband it was very hard cause everyday he was there holding my belly and feeling the movement as he sang. after our losses, we were finally blessed w/2 children..now they are young adults.. unfortunantly he is not here w/us ..death took him away before he had the chance to watch them grow.thank you again and GOD BLESS YOU and your family.. HUGS/LOVE |
| Meridian (205.188.116.200) -- Tuesday, August 3 2004, 08:57 pm Hey Scorpio! It's the messer-upper Meridian again... In one of my lines, while commenting, I said your child.... I meant the woman's child this happen to.... Didn't mean to say it as if it was yours... But, this is really good! Ok then! Smiles again, (hahaha) -Meri |
| Scorpio (67.162.95.179) -- Wednesday, August 4 2004, 08:38 am Meridian and Terrie*, thank you both so much for your comments. A lot of the time, it's the positive feedback that tends to keep me looking towards the bright side of things. I know it's hard for others to endure pain, just like it is for me, but we all must get through it some time. It's just that there's always questions they leave behind. Perhaps if we knew the answers to those questions, it wouldn't hurt so bad. But thank you both so much yet again. Hugs and smiles. |
| sorry (152.157.85.227) -- Wednesday, May 25 2005, 11:17 pm the angels are listening and thanking you for your kind words..... |
| hello (152.157.85.227) -- Wednesday, May 25 2005, 11:20 pm weeping at the moment, lovely words, the heavens smile down upon you my child.... "come to me my children, cometo me my dears. I will love you forever and wipe away your tears." |
