Like Yesterday, Every day

I never got to hold you

As you drew breath

Only while you laid dead in my arms

I held you close to my chest

I think of you often

The tears streaming my cheek

There will always a hole

Your brothers get to feel

As they get hugged extra hard

I only got to hold you for a few minutes

Those moments, I sadly, relive every day

Your brothers will never know you

By more than a name

Your mother and I

Will never be the same

We had big plans for you

That we will never see

You'll never be forgotten

You will always be baby

I wish with time, things got better

Yet for you, there will always be a hole in my heart

How much sadness for the loved one who has left, where you cannot touch him, not caress him, just love him with the memory.
Beautiful verses.
Thanks for sharing.

My son. He was stillborn. My wife passed him at home and I got to hold him as we waited on the ambulance. It was the saddest thing I've ever had to do but I'm glad I did as at least I got a minute.

He was a beautiful baby boy when I had him. My wife had lost a lot of blood so even she didn't get to hold him until later at the hospital. Then he was dry and looked like a mummy, I felt so sad for her.

You have me in tears again. It's a horrible memory, tears of pain at the heavy loss. I've always wondered what type of son he would have been.

No not at all and it's a lie that the more you talk about something like this the easier it gets. It just brings back all the trama like a ton of bricks. Thank you for your kind words.
