The person I never knew

By Yellowbook

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

To the person I never knew, I can't find the words to explain how I feel. The heartache, the pain, the suffering and tears every day. Ashamed I was but I'm sorry now. I didn't ask for this. I didn't want this. I never dreamt this would happen. I apologize for letting you down. I am so sorry I wasn't given the chance to meet you. I'm sorry God for cursing your name and blaming you. I see and know now what you had meant for me. I will never forget you. You were my first.... I wish you could have met your daddy and I. He had your future planned you know. But the Lord must have needed you there more, than sending you home to us. I am deeply sorry for not being good enough for you, but I am trusting in God to pull us through. So I will be here waiting for you when you are ready to come home. Love, The person YOU never knew.This was written about a month ago when we lost our first baby. I have been having writer's block ever since and almost gave up on writing but thanks to a good friend (Slekky) who in her own little way convinced me to write. Thank you Slekky!
