Thank you... We lost our baby last week. I'm glad u finally got a son... Right now we never want to think about trying again... I'm happy that you guys are happy... This was beautiful

This poem is so heartbreaking but beautiful. Stay strong to anybody facing miscarriages, but also know that adoption can be a beautiful thing ❤️

This is my poem.... we miss our baby My princess that couldnt be. My baby girl, my sweet angel. My baby couldnt be. My sweet princess. My serenity just why couldnt she be? Maybe we weren't strong enough. Maybe we didnt see, the whole of gods plan. but why couldnt our baby be? I miss her, but never met her. Why couldnt our baby be? I can see her hair, i can hear her play. running all around and Asking me "daddy daddy, please come read" I wish i could baby, but you just wernt meant to be. But i love you so, and just always know youll always be baby to me. Our sweet child of serenity, Our babys name you see. We'll miss you so, so much but you just wernt be. and we love you so and hopfully one day we get to see, our sweet sweet baby that just wasent ment to be. But just why couldnt our baby be? we'll meet you one day and then you see, youll be our baby to be. But for now we'll try to continue Never mind our loss, and Its all because god said. "This baby isnt ment to be" But We love you tough, just always know, youll always be Baby to me.
