 Travis - RIP-12/25/05 - 6/28/07 An angel has been taken away from our world So very small, so innocent… His mama cries for his return Not understanding, why such a young soul had to go Confused within her pain She finds consolation within his memory A mother’s heart crying for her baby boy Wishing that he was still with her But knowing that he is no longer As she lays him down to rest Her heart is torn, and though she has her other children Her baby boy… was her last… the most innocent of all She holds strong … and breaks when the coffin is lowered I feel her pain… I feel her anguish .. Her confusion Her inner cries as to why!!!!! His smile is present, and from the heavens He holds his mama close Letting her know that he is in a better place *****I personally don't know this child, nor do I know his Mom... but when I read her note to one of her friends... It broke my heart. I dedicated this to her Jen--->MindBodySoul |

What a beautiful baby boy....  tragic, the loss of a child--I hope to never know this kind of pain...! I believe you've done that mother's heart justice with this poem... hugs, g "...Never regret anything that made you smile..." |

Deeply understanding your feelings here, my friend. And I appreciated and praise you for your verbalization of it in written speech. I once had a somewhat similar experience and wrote a piece about it posted in Open Poety #39 I think, if you're interested. It was called (I think) "I Wish You Tears" and although I know and consider life in the flesh an all too fleeting and inevitable thing, watching, hearing, even just knowing a child has died, touches my soul like nothing else. My heart to you...and the mother. jwesley |

Thank you all for your beautiful comments. I really felt this woman's pain. And to my suprise this dedication did not upset her, but made her feel better. I accomplished my goal, brough a smile to her face... Jen--->MindBodySoul |
