 Picture by Josephine Wall * * * I wrote this for my best friend, Katrina whose firstborn baby was stillborn. * * * You had waited for so long For this very special day But a tragedy would unfold Lives turned into disarray Your baby angel was born Without taking a single breath Your world was torn apart At such an untimely death Your loss was incomprehensible Hearts broken beyond repair As you sat deep in your silence Within the depths of your despair Many questions remained unanswered As you simply asked "Why?" You stared deep into space As a tear escaped your eye He was too good for this world And was needed elsewhere But your sorrow and grief Was just too much to bear Your angel now has wings He flies high up above As he illuminates the galaxy And showers you with love He will never be forgotten Of your life, he's still a part For his memory will live on Within the confines of your heart * * * "We are all angels with only one wing.... we can fly only by embracing each other" I am in motion |

there are no words to describe the despair of a thing, and yet to find blessings in words you've woven for your friend will help her overcome and go forward... Heartwarming words dear lady, bless you both |

Sue, I'm so sorry for this loss... we never quite know why... we just know the empty. |

Your angel now has wings He flies high up above As he illuminates the galaxy And showers you with love He will never be forgotten Of your life, he's still a part For his memory will live on Within the confines of your heart hugs for your friend's loss...Sue..these words are so comforting...  M |

Such a difficult thing, this, the loss of a longed for child. My heart sorrows -- you expressed the hope of comfort very well.  SusanHappiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |
