Infants Remembered In Silence (IRIS) - Poems - I Have Held You in My Heart

I Have Held You in My Heart

I have held you in my heart little one,
though in my arms you will never be.
I have rocked you in my mind little one,
though the chair sits empty now.
I have imaged your face a thousand times,
and cried a million more.
I have blamed myself, my husband, and my career, and even my God.
I love you little one,
though society shakes it’s head.
I grieve for you little one,
though no one understands.
I ache for you little one,
though God blessed me with another.
You are real, you are loved, you are remembered and you are mine.
