For the grieving mother

You came in to my life
You brought great joy
You filled my heart with wonder
You were my missing piece


I waited with anticipation
For the day that would bring your smile
Each day you grew and my heart grew too
You were my missing piece


The day of your arrival came
It came much too soon
A day of grief and pain
No mother should ever know


Now you are gone
And I want you to know
I will hold you forever in my heart
My missing piece

That is just beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your poem. It holds so much truth and really touches me.
I don't know if you have heard this song but it goes so well with your poem....
