Found this beautiful poem on one of my babycenter groups. Loved it!
A Different Child
A different child,
People notice
There's a special glow around you
You grow
Surrounded by love,
Never doubting you are wanted;
Only look at the pride and joy
In your mother and father's eyes,
And if sometimes
Between the smiles
There's a trace of tears,
One day you'll understand
You'll understand
There was once another child
A different child
Who was also in their hopes and dreams
That child will never outgrow the baby clothes,
That child will never keep them up at night,
In fact, that child will never be any trouble at all.
Except sometimes, in a silent moment,
When mother and father miss them so much
That different child.
May hope and love wrap your warmly
And may you learn the lesson forever.
How infinitely precious and fragile
Is this life on earth.
And how much more loved you are
Because your parents also loved
A different child.
