Two weeks ago they took my baby away and broke my heart. Before leaving the hospital they gave me this poem. I now have snowdrops bulbs planted, ready for the spring.
The Snowdrop Garden
I Loved you, though
you were not whole
To me you were
My heart and Soul
A brand new life
Inside of me
Not meant to last
Not meant to be
The ending swift
The pain intense
There was not fight
And no defence
And now at peace
I lay you down
Beneath the snowdrop
Rich white crown
Emma House - 1998
What a beautiful poem, yet so sad too.
Thanks for sharing
Love

FYI
there is actually a snowdrop garden esspecially for babies lost through ectopic and miscarriage in hampshire, i visited there and laid flowers a week after my baby was taken and found it a very peacful place to reflect on the lost. now i feel like my baby is in the garden with the oher babies who had the same fate.
please contact me if you would like to visit and i would be happy to let you know where it is.
