I hope I have done this poem justice. I tried to put myself in your shoes and tried to feel how I thought you were feeling.

Losing a Child to Adoption dots

-------------------------------------------

The day came for you to be born
My heart so full, oh how I did mourn
Not to be selfish, I had to let you go
Trying so hard not to let the pain show
Carrying you baby, beneath my own heart
Knowing our lives would be lived apart
Wondering what tomorrow should bring
But knowing I was doing the right thing
So young, doing what I was told
Hurting so, given birth, then noone to hold
Ached as I watched them carry you away
Moments, I cry even to this very day
I wonder what color are your eyes?
What makes you laugh, what makes you cry?
The warmth you feel when you are feeling blue
Baby, your birth Mother is gently holding you
In my mind you will always stay
Yesterday, today and always
When you come upon one of God's little doves
Think of this, as me sending you all my love
Never forgetting, here you will always be
Deep within my heart, living inside of me.

  I really loved this poem... It really showed your true feelings, they jumped off the page at me. I can't imagine how hard this situation must have been.

  Beautiful! Just beautiful. This was great writing. You really did walk in the shoes needed for this poem. And you did this for a friend. That was very sweet of you. I think that the flow was natural. And each word was heartfelt. We felt the loss, and guilt along with the mother. This to is another favorite. I loved the way you said for the child to look upon a dove and then the child would feel your love. This was some of the best writing I've seen in awhile.

  This was a heart-felt dedication to someone who had to make one of the hardest and bravest decisions in life - to let someone you love go so they can do better.
The wording was honest and motherly and you really did a great write here!
Love,Peace,Joy! tif

  Such a lovely and well written poem for a friend. This poem must mean so much to her, it is such a touching and caring poem. A wonderful gesture on your part. I can only imagine how hard this must be to carry a baby inside you and then give it up for adoption. It must be such a difficult decision to make but also a very mature and responsible decision if you cannot manage all the many aspects of raising a child. This poem really expresses the feelings one must go through with this kind of ordeal. Another wonderful poem from you! Take care!

  Wow, Linda..
This is really beautiful. Such deep emotion throughout each line. One can sense the heartbreak and love of the mother for her child. The desparate longing.
A wonderful write.

  What can I say. For you to write such a thing for someone, speaks volumes to me as the kind of person you are. Bursting at the seams with love, passion and raw love for a mother losing her little one. Well done Linda, I admire you very much for writing this for Psycho 1

  I love this poem, it really shows the deep feelings of a young mother having to give away her child because it's the right thing to do. This is very beautiful, it made me want to cry. Did phycho_1 actually go through this? God, I hope not, the pain of losing a loved one is hard but when it's loosing a child and they don't actually die...that's awful. I'm adding it to my favorites, great job, deserves five stars.
