My son, Oliver, was stillborn at just over 24 weeks, less than a month ago. I wanted him so much, and my heart was so full of love already for him, that losing him hit me full force. Thankfully I have 2 other children who need their mummy - without them I think I'd implode. I wrote this poem for my lost little boy. My little boy will never grow up - I’ll never see him laugh or his face light up. I’ll never sit & hold him through the night. To calm his childish worries and frights. He’ll never kick a ball, or play hide and seek. He’ll never roll in long grass or climb a stony peak. He’ll never feel the sun or the wind or the rain. He’ll never experience love or suffer from pain. A lifetime of possibility cut off at the source - Saying goodbye to my Oliver fills me with pain & remorse. And my grief is so deep and so vast and so wide That my heart broke into pieces the day that he died.

My little boy
will never grow up -
I’ll never see him laugh
or his face light up.
I’ll never sit & hold him
through the night.
To calm his childish
worries and frights.

He’ll never kick a ball,
or play hide and seek.
He’ll never roll in long grass
or climb a stony peak.
He’ll never feel the sun
or the wind or the rain.
He’ll never experience love
or suffer from pain.

A lifetime of possibility
cut off at the source -
Saying goodbye to my Oliver
fills me with pain & remorse.
And my grief is so deep
and so vast and so wide
That my heart broke into pieces
the day that he died.
