Stillborn from a siblings eye

Written on Jun 08, 2021

Mummy and daddy came up to me,
Said there is something for you to see,
The showed me a picture and mums belly was round,
 They Said really soon a baby would be around ,
I used to feel the baby kick
But all of a sudden things changed really quick,
Mummy and daddy had started to cry,
The rushed off to hospital but I didnt know why,
Then my nanny came to me and said "my love"
"Your baby is now an angel above
But I said that isnt fair
Theres so many things I wanted to share
I wanted to help mummy push the pram
And show daddy what a big brother I am
She asked me gently if I'd like a cuddle
My heart was sad I was all in a muddle
I saw you were so perfect and sweet
Tiny hands and tiny feet
Sleeping soundly dreaming away
I know now with the Angel's you play
When I'm sad your not around
Mummy says in rainbows your found
So when I look up in the sky 
I seeing a feather pass me by
I see you in the brightest sky
I am allowed to love you and allowed to cry
I like to talk to you every day
I know you hear the songs I play
I am a big brother though you I cannot see
I know your happy and flying free
When mummy and daddy cry I now know why
Because we didnt want to say goodbye xx
