I was thinking of both of you
and prayed to God today
and wondered why he took you so soon
and I know I heard him say;
"You came to this earth to learn
lessons of life and of loss.
I took those burdens with me
when I died on the cross."
And then he lowered his voice.
"I give many women babies, for sure,
But when they leave is not their choice.
Some I send for a lifetime. Others for a day.
Others I send to feel your womb
but there's no need to stay."
And I said, "Lord, I want my twins here!"
He took a deep breath and then I saw a tear.
"I wish I could show you what
your children are doing today
They are in the presence of Angels
and are having a wonderful time at play.
Your babies want you to know
they visit you each day
and give you a kiss goodnight
on the tear stained pillow where you lay
They stroke your hair and kiss you
and they whisper in your ear;
'Momma don't be sad today. We are
your babies and we are right here!'
Your babies are in my mansion
where they will continue to stay.
So, you see my child, both of
them are more than okay.
What makes a mother, precious Christina,
is a feeling in your heart
And all the love you had for them
right from the very start."

- Comment from author about the poem: I lost my twins in utero 15 years ago this week. This is a re-post but many of you have not seen it. I have to say thanks to Rocky for encouraging me to post this. I get to the part where God tears up, and I tear up. I hope that any of you that have lost a child will find solace in this poem. I continue to live each day for my two awesome living children, who I\\\'ve been tremendously blessed with!

I have not seen this before but it must surely rank as one of your best .. I truly feel for you C and all others who have experienced such a dreadful loss .. and amongst them, I must include my own sister who lost her son full term ... x
Thank you for such a heartfelt reply to my poem....yes, I hope it helps others. I was truly inspired yet in such a dark place when i wrote this. Thanks again!
I'm so sorry, dear Poet
what a horrendous experience
that must be..
but this is the utility, of having a belief system
or an anchoring faith, in your life
that I genuinely champion...
devoid of any theological alignment
I still laud, the bravery your faith
affords you
that one on one, relationship
with a deity you identify with
for those messages of love and peace
you sift, free
from corporate religion's, barbaric inhumanity..
your words, remind me
of that beautiful innocence, encapsulated
in the poem by A. A. Milne, titled
'Vespers'
( https://www.oatridge.co.uk/poems/a/aa-milne-vespers.php )
That's the 'Ideal'
having faith, can reward people with
it's just that, some
of those little boys and girls, tend
to grow up and warp
that innocence and theme of inclusiveness
into, border lines
where salvation is only for some
and empathetic consideration
is awarded, only for those who subscribe
to a dogma, that vilifies the majority
of our diverse humanity..
But still, as long
as poetry like yours
can blossom, from faith
entrenched
in those 'open' and 'understanding'
corners of peoples
humanitarian, heart's
then we can hope
a day will come
when, having faith
can be something
that unites and heals, the world
than the root cause
for most of its, insidious hate..
thank you!
for choosing to share
these comforting words
for those
who may be going through
a similar turmoil in their lives, this very moment...
(so sorry for my overtly opinionated
and lengthy reply, please
know - I genuinely, meant no disrespect
to your art or faith)
Thank you so much LB Mek for not just putting this in your favorites but really reading it and getting the true message. Do not apologize for the length of your message, I was happy to read it!! i know you meant no disrespect, quite the opposite. Also, I am going to type in that web address now and read that poem you mentioned. But I truly appreciate your kind comments. They mean the world to me!---Christina
Dear Christina, this is actually beyond words. I literally adore the way you presented this as a conversation between you and God. I wasn’t too sure what I was expecting when going into this, but I’m so so delighted to see you presented the poem this way. It’s a warm reminder that embraces you saying, “they’re okay.” Having to deal with the loss of your own children must be an agonizing pain that can’t be put into words, but to see your message of optimism in this piece is so reassuring. You’ve learned and accepted that everything in life happens for a reason, and that even though your twins may not physically be with you, they’re peacefully residing in Heavenly bliss - waiting for your tender embrace to reunite them back to you again. You’re such a strong woman Christina and this really goes to show your resilience and hope. Much love
Thank You for once again reading, loving, favoriting my poem! It's so hard to explain how I got to this place so I could write this poem, I was in such a dark place, not believing my husband was even grieving at all. (That's why things like this tear apart relationships, just misunderstandings) But I left that out and chose to believe that they are in heaven. i don't see a date on this but it was a few years after I lost them that my daughter was conceived and I believe I wrote this when I was in a happier place. (I shouldn't have been able to have kids, btw!) i thank you for your compliments, Rocky. And I put your name in the comments cuz your poem from yesterday really got me thinking that I needed to re-post this! Thank you!---Christina
A poignant write Christina. The mystery of those 'unborn' yet still having life.
Thank you so much Steve, I appreciate it!
What a marvelous poem. Such a trying time yet to face with such a comforting thought and positive outlook, I admire that. The poem itself was wonderful in rhyme and meter and the message was inspiring.
Thank you so much sorenbarrett! I appreciate your kind reply to my poem and the compliments!!
This is so beautiful,I'm crying, I had a miscarriage eleven years ago, thank you Christina,I have healed a little more with your beautiful words
Oh, sweetie! I'm a little sad that I made you cry but happy that my words have helped, if even just a little. It's such a sensitive subject but one that I carry with me everyday. Thanks for reading and sending such a kind reply!!
Oh no,happy tears Christina, I've always questioned why,but you helped me tremendously, and made me realize that you're right
Such a good write Christina, when I was first married my wife lost twins so I know about that.
Andy
