His legacy

	More loss to legacy Mommy now spends some of her spare time crocheting layettes and baby blankets for babies in the hospital...preemies, stillborns, and other babies in need.

	Moving from loss to legacy These are the mother's bracelets mommy makes in your honor. Everytime I make one for a new mommy in grief, I feel your presence with me. Because you're not here and I need to do something with all the love I have for you, I send each bracelet out with a wish for peace for the mommy who wears it.

	Not Like You Not Like You by Sheri Hess I am a mother, though not like you. You cradle your sweet baby in your arms, Mine are empty, but I hold him in my heart. You brush her soft curly hair, and tie pretty pink bows just right. A lock of his hair is tucked neatly in a book You pick daisies and tie them in a chain to wear around her neck I cut lilacs and arrange them in a vase to set at his grave. You look forward to dreams and plans. I hold on to memories. I am a mother, though not like you.

	FOR MY BABY-by Sara Rogers Though your feet never got to walk, Your delicate footprints will always be etched in my soul. Though your eyes never got to weep, Your silver tears will always haunt my dreams. Though your lungs never got to fill, Your undrawn breath will always drift in my breast. Though your fingers never got to reach, Your golden touch will always be imprinted on my palm. Though your lips never got to move, Your silent words will always echo in my mind. Though your heart never got to love, Your beautiful spirit will always be cradled in my arms.

	To The Child in My Heart O precious, tiny, sweet little one You will always be to me So perfect, pure, and innocent Just as you were meant to be. We dreamed of you and of your life And all that it would be We waited and longed for you to come And join our family. We never had the chance to play, To laugh, to rock, to wiggle. We long to hold you, touch you now And listen to you giggle. I'll always be your mother. He'll always be your dad. You will always be our child, The child that we had. But now you're gone...but yet you're here. We sense you everywhere. You are our sorrow and our joy. There's love in every tear. Just know our love goes deep and strong. We'll forget you never-- The child we had, but never had, And yet will have forever. Author: C.P.

	Remember Christina Rossetti Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land; When you can no more hold me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay. Remember me when no more day by day. You tell me of our future that you plann'd: Only remember me; you understand It will be late to counsel then or pray. Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterwards remember, do not grieve: For if the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that once I had, Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad.
