Although your body's lying six feet deep Below the Indiana snow I take your spirit with me Everyplace I go In fact your gentle spirit Has never left my side The love still lingers round about me The love was kindled When I first felt your little kicks And felt your body move Within my womb I still recall the special feelings Of that glorious night When ours eyes first met And you were laid across my tummy All wrinkled, red, and wet A son, that brought more joy Than I ever hoped to own We shared 18 years together In an earthly realm Then angels escorted you to heaven But left the most treasured Parts with me |

This is very touching and beautifully written. I can't imagine a pain more devastating than losing a child. HUGS Denise |

I am with Denise on this one. It is beautifully written, but what awful pain inspired it! hugs To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

Songbird, I went searching for your poems...this moved me to tears - such a precious memory, such agonizing pain...my heart throbs with the fearful thought of losing a child. Thank you for sharing this... Lary |
