rispetto in honor of Stillbirth Rembrance Day
A chapter in the book rispettos
Stillborn

Should daisies bloom along the path you stroll upon, please pause awhile to listen for a baby's laugh among those blooms that make you smile. Each spirit of a babe whose death occurred before it drew life's breath lives in a daisy placed on Earth by God, who claimed that child at birth. |

In Canada and the United States, September 6 has been designated Stillbirth Remembrance day since 2001. In the United States alone, 26,000 babies are stillborn each year, one in about 160 births. Parents who anticipated the birth of a healthy child for many months are left with an empty crib to go home to.
Celtic legend has it that when God saw the parents of these innocent children mourning their loss, he sprinkled daisies over the Earth to offer them cheer. Each daisy, a symbol of innocence, springs from the spirit of a child who died at birth. To any of my readers who have ever suffered this terrible loss, I dedicate this poem.
