An Angel Never Dies
Don't let them say I wasn't born,
That something stopped my heart.
I felt each tender squeeze you gave,
I've loved you from the start.
Although my body you can't hold,
It doesn't mean I'm gone.
I know the pain that drowns your soul,
What you are forced to face.
You have my word, I'll fill your arms,
Someday we will embrace.
You'll hear that it was "meant to be, God doesn't make mistakes."
But that won't soften your worst blow,
or make your heart not ache.
I'm watching over all you do,
Another child you'll bear.
Beleive me when I say to you,
that I am always there.
There will come a time I promise you
When you will hold my hand,
Stroke my face and kiss my lips
and you'll understand.
Although I've never breathed your air
or  gazed into your eyes,
That doesn't mean I never "was"
An angel never dies.

I do not know who to attribute this beautiful poem to.  But, I wanted to share it because it helped me through such a tough time.
To our baby brother, Toby Lee
We love you, you see
Even though we didn't meet
We know your heart did beat
And because it stopped
Doesn't mean that you were not
Mommy and Daddy Explained
So, we didn't complain
We know that you can't play with us
Because you are with Jesus
We will always remember you, Toby Lee
Because you're a part of this family

"An angel in the book of life wrote down our baby's birth,
Then whispered as she closed the book,
"Too beautiful for earth"

Again, I don't know who to attribute this to, it is just something I came across on a few different web pages.
