Remebering My Sweet Son

One Day in Heaven

I love you my son, I do not fear,
It is Christmas again and I am here,
Alone without you by my side,
These passed six years tears I hide.

Please know that I miss you so very much,
If only I could have just one more touch,
You left my body so early, you see,
I guess God thought it was meant to be.

My memories of you I hold dear in my heart,
One day in Heaven we'll get a fresh start,
I'll hold you and hug you and not let you go,
For you will be mine again, you know.

Thank you God for keeping my son,
In your loving arms, until my life is done.
I look forward to the wonderful day,
When all together we can stay.

I wrote this poem to you Nicholas!
I will love and miss you always!
Love Mom

Oh Mother, My Mother

Oh Mother, my mother
I touch your tears,
invisible fingers soothing your skin
I know you think of me so often
in the day, in the night, in your dreams
going into an empty nursery
knowing I'll never be there
but I am...in your heart, in your soul,
I shall always be
for you gave so unselfishly of yourself
Inside of you, you created
such a world for me
a world of laughter, of love
of sadness, of sorrow
every emotion people come to know
you shared with me.
And even though I may never feel your arms around me
I felt your heart beating,
like a lullaby, singing me to sleep.
and your spirit giving me a safe haven
already protecting me, nurturing me
preparing me for things to come
But sometimes the journey of life pulls souls apart
and yes, I had to go on to another place.
I wish I could stay
I wish this was a decision I could make
and I know you do too.
Know this, wherever you are:
I will always remember
that yours was the first love
the first joy, the first soul
I will ever know
you gave me the courage to
go on in my journey
I hope I can do the same for you
Your heart beat will always call me to you.

Your Shawl

Too tiny for clothes
I bought you a shawl
A delicate white
To cover your all.

Soft baby yarn
With a beautiful fringe
I told them to wrap you
Carefully within.

My heart ached to hold you
And just keep you near
To wrap you and rock you
But they might see a tear.

So I let perfect strangers
Do what I could have done
If only my shame
Of tears had not won.

I will never forget
As they lowered your box
That slight bit of fringe
Peeking out from the top.

My sweet baby boy
Who went far away
Please stay a baby
I'll rock you some day.

My Angel

My angel watches over me
And guides me on my way.
He brings me from the darkness
And brightens up my day.

My angel is so precious
He is my son, you see.
I had him for a little while-
The Lord lent him to me

I thank the Lord each day
For what little time we had.
And though I know he's with the Lord
I still am very sad.

My angel was just a babe
Not even from the womb
I long so bad to hold him
But he was gone too soon.

The Lord showed me his body
So ready to be born!
And when I saw his precious face
Oh, my heart was torn!

I'll never see him take a step
Or say sweet words to me.
But my Lord has promised
Together we will be.

And so for now I'll reminisce
And think about my son.
And I look forward to the day
When we will be as one.

You never said I'm leaving

You never said I'm leaving,
you never said goodbye,
you were gone before I knew it,
and only god knew why.

A million times I needed you,
A million times I cried,
if love alone could save you,
you never would have died.

In life I loved you dearly,
in death I love you still,
in my heart you hold a place,
that no one could ever fill.

It broke my heart to lose you,
but you didn't go alone,
for a part of me went with you,
the day god took you home.

I'll Hold You in Heaven

From the very beginning I loved you,
As I made plans to hold you and rock you:
You were tiny and helpless as you lay in my womb,
But something went wrong and soon you were gone;
My young heart was broken, my tears fell like rain,
I'd never known such heartache and pain.

I wonder who you look like, me or your dad,
Do you have my smile and his eyes?
Would you have been big and tall or tiny and small?
We had dreams for you that reached to the skies.
It was long, long ago and I still miss you so,
Thanks to Jesus, I'll see you in heaven.

I'll hold you in heaven someday,
When my trials on earth pass away;
The angels have rocked you, the Father watches over you,
I know you're waiting for me;
I never could hold you or tell you "Goodbye",
But I'll hold you in heaven someday.

In loving memory of Darrell Keith and Melody Joy Taylor.

Our Baby

An empty space where life once stirred
My eyes were not yet seeing
Where once my heartbeat shared a tone
with a small and fragile being

So scarcely formed yet still a life
A dream, a hope, a promise
Our plans were changed to now include
This new life thrust upon us

Then just as quickly as it came
Our dreams were gone away
The deepest pain I've ever felt
Our baby died today

With footprints left upon our hearts
She gently took her leave
We're left with nothing but regret
And only time to grieve

There was no service to be held
No mourning time required
No songs of longing and despair
No words to be inspired

We're simply told to bare the pain
"It's nature's way" they say
I can't forget our baby moved
inside me yesterday

And with each word of sorrow
my teardrops fall like rain
The anger and resentment
are mixed with guilt and pain

I look to heaven for a sign
to help search out a course
Where love can teach acceptance
and eliminate remorse

My body will accept the truth
that now our baby's gone
But in our hearts our Angel
everlastingly lives on!
