Poem of life

Reyanna,

I have posted in my "about" how we have 7 children, 6 to take care of and 1 in heaven.
On May 10 2014 we lost our youngest daughter.
I was almost due, expecting her on my birthday, but the Lord decided to take her life,

before she ever lived with us.

Yesterday I updated my profile picture in dedication to the pregnancy and infant loss awareness.

This awareness is carried out all over the world in the month of October,

with October the 15th being the actual awareness date.

In general people all around the world lit a candle at 7PM local time, to keep the candles burning for 24 hours in remembrance of all the little babies we remember.

One of our cousins send me a very touching poem today, one I'd love to share in Dutch as well as English. Now bare with me, I do need to translate
my way.....
 

The poem originates from "woordkunsten.nl"
 

I want to shout

to the heavens

I want to stamp

on the ground

to let the world know

that your life inside of me was found

 

 

you I want to cradle

you I want to comfort

 you I want to kiss

 you I want to give

I want all of you

I want you always

I want you grown up

in my life

 

 

I want to call out

to the emptiness

I want to sing

to the sun

I want to dive

into longing

I want to go back

to what had begun

 

 

I want to name

that you lived

I want to name

that you are

That however short you were

in my life

everyone knows

that you are

Ik wil schreeuwen

naar de hemel,

Ik wil stampen

op de grond

En de wereld

laten weten

dat jij ooit

in mij bestond
 

Ik wil je wiegen

en je troosten

wil je kussen

en je geven

ik wil je alles

wil je altijd

wil je groter

in mijn leven
 

Ik wil roepen

naar de leegte

Ik wil zingen

naar de zon

ik wil duiken

in verlangen

Ik wil terug

naar wat begon
 

ik wil noemen

dat jij leefde

ik wil noemen

dat jij bent

dat hoe kort ook

in mijn leven

Iedereen jouw

leven kent
