Angel Baby

I dreamt of seeing that little heart,

Beating on the scan.

I dreamt of caressing my big belly,

Anticipating holding your hand.

I dreamt of painting your room,

Hoping for a baby girl.

I can see it now, pinks, pearls, and glitter galore

All for the hope of you.

My reality was an ultrasound,

With no heartbeat in sight.

My reality was a doctor,

Telling me, you’ll probably lose your baby tonight.

Those hopes and dreams,

Suddenly came crashing down.

The hope of a big belly, that so many take for granted,

Was only in my dreams now.

The pain is great, in every way imaginable

A pain for some, that is never even fathomable. 

Someday I only hope to make these dreams a reality,

But nothing will ever replace, my sweet little angel baby.
