Forever In Your Heart

( For Isaiah(February 2001)in my fifth month)
Mommy loves you and misses you, someday when I get to be with you in heaven, I will make-up and give you all the love, hugs and kisses you never got to feel. We will laugh and play and mommy will tell you nite nite stories....I think about you often, especailly the day you would have been born and the day I lost you....I will never forget you.. This year you would be three.All my love, Mommy.)

Oh how sweet,
Your tiny little eyes,
Looking back at me,
I get happy just watching you breathe,
Seeing you hold up your fingers,
Counting to three,

What a joy,
A blessing I have been given,
A life so precious,
You are my life I am living,

To hold you close in my arms at night,
To kiss your soft little cheek,
As I turn out the light,

You are my happiness,
My smile, my life,

Joy you bring,
To my heart to sing,

Sweet lullabies,
To you everynight,

Trucks and cars,
Scratches and scars,

Crayons broken into,
little flowers picked,
To say mom,"I Love You"

Oh how I cheerish you,
I love you my sweetie,
Time goes by so fast,
I want ours to last,

Every minute, evey day I savor,
Watching you eat your favorite
Icecream flavor,

Playing with toys in the sand,
Holding on to my hand,

Kissing boo-boos,
reading nighttime stories,
Making cookies,

Camping out,
You are what life is about,

Playing games,
making crafts,
Playing tickle to see you laugh,

Oh How I enjoy the little things with you,
The little things about you,

Every moment measured,
Every moment treasured,

I am so happy with you,
And one day,

I will turn around,
As tears fall to the ground,

My little man,
will no longer be two,

A handsome man,
full of love and truth,

I will always look into those tiny eyes,
and see the little man of your youth,

You will always be mommies little man....


Open your eyes, open your mind, open your heart, let me come in and show you love.....~ARH

while my heart goes out to your for your precious loss, I am reminded that God only chooses the very best to come to live with Him before their time...your little one was surely very good

From a heart that has never had a loss like that, cringes even at the thought, and is so thankful when it looks at the two kids I have, my whole being wants wrap you in a cocoon of Isaiah's tiny soul...

I know your love forever warms him...

I was unable to answer this poem the first time I read it. There simply were no words.

There still aren't.

Ohh Romantic Heart, that is so sad, but heartwarming.
What a beautiful heart you have. I am so sorry dear
little Isaiah, is no longer there to hold in your arms,
but I’m sure he will be forever in your heart, until the
day you two finally meet again, when you can once again
be his loving mommy.

Sincerest blessings to you, and your family
Romantic Heart.


Sincerely,
Richy
