Nobody Knew You

I recently came across this beautiful poem written to a miscarried baby. May you never have the need to share it with anyone...

Nobody Knew You

Nobody knew you
"Sorry about the miscarriage dear, but you couldn't have been very far along."
...existed.

Nobody knew you
"It's not as though you lost an actual person."
...were real.

Nobody knew you
"Well it probably wasn't a viable fetus. It's all for the best."
...were perfect.

Nobody knew you
"You can always have another!"
...were unique.

Nobody knew you
"You already have a beautiful child. Be happy!"
...were loved for yourself.

Nobody knew you
...but us.

And we will always remember
...You.
