Tiny Footprints on a Mother's Heart


This poem was sent to me with a necklace that has baby footprints on a heart. The poem is so true and Caroline's time with us, although short, truly has touched all of our hearts forever.



Tiny Footprints on a Mother's Heart


When a baby arrives,be it for a day, a month, a year or more,


or perhaps only a sweet flickering moment-


the fragile spark of a tender soul


the secret swell of a new pregnancy


the goldfish flutter known to only you-


you are unmistakeningly changed...


the tiny footprints left behind on your heart


bespeak your name as Mother
