The Baby
Friday, April 30, 2010
The sun shines brightly today
No clouds, no wind
But rain is falling and the mood is heavy
I hear him cry and my heart breaks
My tears fall freely as they did all the months of his life
He's holding my kisses and the angel I placed in his small lifeless hand
He is peaceful now, but we are left with the pain of his demise
When he left he took my heart, my joy and my life
How I want him back for just one more day
To tell him I love him, to kiss him and to smell him
Before placing him back into the safe arms of his Creator

This is painfully beautiful.
Thank you. Isaiah would have been 6 years old this July. I'm not sure the pain will ever leave. To have to watch and know that your grandson will die is something no one should ever have to go through.
I love this, it is so well written. I love it even though it is only being written because our hearts have been broken :(
I am so sorry.
My wife is a labor and delivery nurse who sometimes has the sad duty of placing dead babies in the arms of their parents. She also prepares little kits of memories, things like hand prints and foot prints.
Thank you Snowbrush. That must be a terrible thing to have to experience. We were lucky enough to have Isaiah for 12 weeks before we lost him. It's been a long road.
