A child so innocent & tender - so pure
So capable of growing - so capable of life...
Of laughter and smiles...of sorrow & tears...
Of loving and caring and dreaming and hoping...
This child's world so abruptly came to a standstill
This tiny soul was not yet meant to evolve.
This child I love...this child I lost....

A young man so warm and tender - yet strong
So capable of reaching any star he desires...
He knows of laughter & too many tears...
He's learning to love & dreams everyday...
Of what tomorrow may bring him - sunshine or rain
Chin held high for he has evolved & grows daily.
This young man I love...I will not lose twice.

My greatest loss and yet my biggest gain -
both came about on this 28th day of August...

***** In Memory of Laisha Denea...
......my little one.

This touched a core fatale
A mothers love is core of our soul
I had much trouble getting both my son's in to this world... my last son was a twin I lost his sister, my only daughter in my fith month Thank God he was a fighter his first three years were rough ones!!
Being a parent of a child with special needs is a gift in many ways, it opens our eyes wider then ever before, and lightens are hearts in a way only thoes of us that have been touched can discribe

Thank you ladies for sharing your deeply sincere feelings & comments on this issue...it's certainly not the easiest to overcome when it happens...just knowing that you're not alone in a tragic loss makes it a little easier when asking "Why..."

My dear, i just have to comment. You really have a lovely way with words, and it's often hard to find words that truly express the depth of loss - sometimes there's simply no words! I wrote a poem about the frustration of words - it's one of 3 in what I've titled Series 1; I just don't have it with me today, but look out for it, I'll put it on soon.

Well, sorry to disappoint(hehehe) but I'm female thru and thru and wrote Accidental Passing for a guy from my past. I'm actually in a relationship right now with the greatest guy in the world, but he doesn't write! (I can forgive that though...just!)
Severn is a name of a character in the novel I'm writing - does it sound masculine?
