An angel came but he wasn't to stay
How broken were our hearts that day
So dearly loved
But needed in heaven above
Our souls were crushed
He was gone all too soon

So perfect in every way
All too soon was he taken away
Too good for this world he was needed elsewhere
The sorrow and grief was just too much to bear

Why him? we would ask
And receive no reply
As a tear trickled down from the corner of my eye
A life cut so short
We could not understand
We wouldn't see him grow into a handsome young man

Life can be so unfair
Too easily we forget
Just one precious chance
Is all that we get

An angel without wings
Not a day this life brings
When we don't feel that you're near
And we wish you were here

It just wasn't to be
Although we just couldn't see
Why such a tragedy came to be

Sleep peacefully beautiful angel ..............

One of my closest friends firstborn son was stillborn and she asked me to write something to honour his memory.It was also written for all those who have lost babies and young children.

This was actually my very first post here at Passions nearly a year ago.Thank you for taking the time to read this........Sue

I can only imagine what it is like,
my mother went through a smiliar thing when I was very young.
I have no recollection of it, but your words put it in better focus

That really was very touching Sue.  My oldest brother died at just a few years old, and my oldest sister died before she was one.  I didn't arrive till after both had departed.  It must have been so hard on my parents.  Thank you for this poem.  It so reached inside of me.  Your friend, Roger

PS: Right now I am living with the thought of my brother Donald.  Beleive it or not, I am presently working with a young Donald Robicheau.  He is 26, I am 55.  I have never known a Donald Robicheau until now, except in my mind.  It is not a very common name, but it happens to be my last name also.
Life is so strange sometimes.
