These Were the Words That They Said to Me

These Were the Words That They Said to Me

One, Two, Three baby boys growing inside their mother’s womb
One, Two, Three baby boys kick and wiggle for room
Everything looks great with all three—these were the words that they said to me
One, Two Baby boys still kicking with glee
But something was not right with number three
He has no heartbeat and we don’t know why-these were the words they said to me
After the shock wore off I began to cry
The other two still look good they said with a sigh
They checked me again the very next day
We have to get them all out and right away
Prepare for delivery—it is an emergency—these were the words they said to me
Braxton looks great and just needs to grow
Brady’s progress , however, is moving a little more slow
He needs to be moved to another hospital for a while
But he’ll be just fine they said with a smile
So off he went with all his belongings in a sack
Little did we know he would never be back
He is having complications and we will just have to wait and see—these were the words they said to me
We wait and we pray day after day
But finally they come to me and this is what they say
He is not going to make it—there is nothing more we can do
I am sorry that you are going to lose not one baby but two
Your baby is gone—his heart beats no more and his energy is spent
But at least he was in your arms when he went
Hold him for a little longer and take as long as you need—these were the words that they said to me
One little boy snuggles into my chest
The only one of the three that I have left
He survived and his brothers did not
It is not the ending he deserved but it is the one that he got
Your beginning was rough but your future is not dim-these were the words that I said to him
For God took two but left me one
And I will continue to go on for you my sweet little son
Your brothers are with you in spirit and will live on through you
They will shine with you in all that you do
He gave me hug and a kiss and said one little word
The sweetest word I have ever heard
“Mommy” he said as clear as can be—this was the word that he said to me
