A poem called Forget Me Not written by Lanette Lusk `10-3-1995 given to mothers in basildon hospital?
I think it is this one:





Mum I was not yours to keep


but children never are


My life and death have touched others


and changed you


In ways you cannot completely


know or understand


Ripples in the pool spreading.


My life and death


will enrich your life.


Pain and loss are not my only legacy


Weep, for I am worth every tear


each worth more than gold


a gift of love from you to me


And many die


With no one to weep for them.


But do not weep for my sake


Know and remember


I never once was touched by fear


I never was afraid


I never felt the cold, not once,


nor hunger's pains


and never, never was alone.


You were with me always


You gave me a chance to be


and now I have a spirit and a soul


that can never be lost





To you my days were few


to me a lifetime.


A week to a child is a month or more


To me the days were long


with all my needs supplied by you


til time came to move on to better things


Leaving you to pay the higher price.


Living is sometimes harder than dying





So weep, and heal yourself


You will never be the same


Allow my life to touch your heart


and you will grow


Learn from me that life is precious


and today is all we have


Learn to love others


Today not tomorrow


maybe tomorrow they are gone


Or we are gone


Learn this and my life has had


purpose, and my death, meaning.





We are parted for a little while


but I am with my creator


who loves us better


than we love each other
Reply:Two very beautiful poems. I hope they bring some comfort to you in your time of need.xxx
Reply:I think the question is pretty much answered...





I just wanted to say those poems have really touched me, and I just had to go and give my 2 precious children a hug. I have a 5 year old boy and a 2 and a half week old girl.





I nearly lost my little girl when I was 4 months pregnant, as I nearly miscarried, and those poems have helped me appreciate what I have.





Thanks! :-)

We are the ones God chose to take


We are the ones you could not wake


We are the buds you see on a tree


We are the ones whose spirit runs free





We are the bulbs you may plant in spring


We are the sound when you hear the birds sing


We are the ones that could not cry


We are the ones He chose to die





Our tears are the tips of the morning dew


We are the ones that you never knew


We are the rain that`s left on the grass


The test for life we did not pass





We are the bees you hear hum


We had no voice to call you Mum


We are the forest that fragrance the wood


To be with you, if only we could





We are the sun, the clouds, the moon


We are the blooms that went too soon


We are the stars that shine above


We are the ones you could not love





Forget-me-nots that`s what we are


We grow in your garden not very far


We are a heart broken in two


We are the ones who belong to you





We are the ones you could not share


We are the empty space you see there


So really you see us in every way


Forget me not for every day

Reply:I just wanted to tell you that the poem is lovely. Thank you for making sure that it got shared. I am sure it touched the hearts of many mothers like yourself that have lost a little one.


Bless you and I am so deeply sorry for your loss. My life has not been touched in that way but I imagine that it must be the greatest pain one is ever expected to endure. You are a brave woman.
