I Don't Know
I don't know what it's like to be infertile for forever.
I don't know what it's like to lose a fully formed or full grown child.
I don't know what it's like to have lost my Mother
I pray she'll still be here for quite a long while.
The ache in the center
of the soul in my chest
is the sadness for you
who've laid loved ones to rest.
I want to live happily forever
grateful to have had a third child
Knowing the love unique to a Mother
I pray in God's love to abide.

Happy Mother's Day Gail! This is a tender tribute to those who've known suffering like we've never known and we do need to take a minute to commit their heartbreak to the Lord.
Blessings and tender mercy to all Mom's and to those who long to be.
Oh, Gail -- a lovely poetic tribute to moms!
this really touched me~
happy mother's day friend. love you.
Very thoughtful! ~Happy Mother's Day! :)
@DawneElla - @slmret - @Hutch5 - @bakersdozen2 - I love each one of you dearly!
what a lovely piece Gail... no, you have not experienced that loss; but you are compassionate enough without knowing it first hand..I do know the loss first hand (of losing a child in the womb before it had a chance to see the light of day or know it's mother's kiss) but God in his goodness comforted me with the sweet compassion of women like you...God bless you my dear friend- and thanks for sharing your heart and thoughts this Mother's Day.
@NewsyNancy - I do remember that! You said you were going to name her Anastacia. I, too, had a misscarriage 9 years ago and that pregnancy was said to be not viable because it was tubal. I had already bonded to it though, had a name picked out...only God knows how "viable" it was. I feel very strongly for all who have suffered a loss! Enjoy your day...you are an awesome mom!
Beautiful.
@MsWrite2 - Dayle, thank you so much! Love, GAil
