Once upon a time - -
there lived a tiny soul
she blossomed like a star
her presence made me whole.
To know she grew inside
my deepest inner core
to keep her safe & warm
forever, this I swore.
3 months came & went
was August twenty-eight
her tiny heart was still
by then, it was too late.
The doctor rushed me in
and did a sonogram
on the screen I saw her -
my precious little lamb...
She lay so very still
as if she were asleep
I wanted her to move
my heart began to weep.
The doctor shook his head
he said, "Your baby's gone"...
"We'll have to take her now -
this won't take very long."
I held my belly tight
I wanted her to stay
"Please don't take her from me."
Is all that I could say.
When I came to - that night
I knew that she was gone
I couldn't keep her warm
I wondered what went wrong?
I cried & cried & cried -
& asked my Saviour why
my precious little lamb
had to go and die?
The timing wasn't right
she knew she had to go -
she has a place in Heaven
where she can play & grow.
I'm sure that there's an angel
who keeps her safe & sound
I know she knows I love her -
I feel her all around.
My baby angel girl
Now has her tiny wings...
She waits for me in Heaven
and while she waits - she sings.........

~~ To my Baby Angel Girl...Laisha Denea...

And you shall be with her in heaven, Dear, don't ever doubt that. This is so sad, I wish I could just reach out and hold you right now. My heart is with you...wonderful, wonderful poem.

I must thank you dear Lady for penning something able to wrench emotion from me this night. I would have preferred something pleasant, but this feels more like home than joy could have. This is a wonderfully woven slice of soul that speaks volumes of how knowing you can enrich the lives of those who name you a friend and those you name as friends yourself.

I know there are things we have never talked about and possibly never will, Gennifer. But thank you for sharing this piece. It brought a tear to my eye. I can only hope that when I find the strength to write about my Dad that it will be as well put. You have my ear and my shoulder, Sis.

So sad to endure. No pain is greater than losing a child. You will see her again, and now when you need her, just listen to hear her sing. Beautifully and sad piece. (HUGS) from across the sea, one mother to another...
