Dear Baby,

Today is your due date.
I don’t really know what to say.
I once found it a day to celebrate,
But it didn’t turn out that way.

This date will forever be special to me
As it reminds me of carrying you;
The joy and excitement of imagining
All that we would do.

Today, I pause and let the tears flow
That I sometimes push away,
Because today reminds me
That it’s not your birthday. 

It’s another day without you.
It’s another day I miss you
And think of what could have been.
It’s also another day I love you and picture you in Heaven.

So, today, on the anniversary of your due date,
Just know that I am thinking of you,
And even though I am sad,
Today, I remember each day that we had.

Love, Mama
