I'm still a mummy

by kelly buzi   Sep 28, 2011


I am still a Mummy; I was a Mummy from the start.
What makes me be a Mummy is that feeling in my heart.
Pregnant I was, there was a baby inside of me.
For some Mummy's all it takes is to know, that they have planted the seed.

There is a bond that takes place from the moment that you know.
Inside of your body someone special has started to grow.
My baby didn't make it; she is in Heaven up above.
But in my heart I'm still her Mummy, and I am filled with endless love.

Something happens to a woman when her seedling starts to grow.
Unless you have felt these feelings it is impossible to know.
She meant the world to me and I will never be the same.
And I need for you to listen when I wish to say her name.

She may be gone, but she's not forgotten and I miss her each and every day.
Could you imagine that it would be any other way?
What kind of Mummy would I be if I forgot my daughter?
I had planned my life around her, all the great things we would have done.

I may have another child, in another year or two.
But there is something I know for certain, I am always her Mummy too.

    I think this is a beautifully wrought poem, and seriously one of the most outstanding emotional poems I've read on this website in a very long time. I don't know you, or have ever met you, but you managed to evoke quite an emotional response out of me - and that's doubly rare because I'm not an emotional person!

    The syntax, flow and structure all work well together in this piece and nothing ever felt awkward or jaded in reading it. I think the real underlying beauty; however, is the way you set up the story. I honestly thought it was going to be infective of parenthood, opposed to the irrecoverable sorrow of missing your offspring due to a miscarriage.

    I'm sorry you experienced this tragedy in your life, and I hope when you're ready to conceive again you're healthy to do so in both spirit and body.

    5/5.

    Nice piece full of emotion. The rhyming is great except for the fourth stanza:
    'What kind of Mummy would I be if I forgot my daughter?
    I had planned my life around her, all the great things we would have done.'
    I enjoyed reading your poem. Keep up :)
