He lay beneath my
heart in a soft secret place
and I felt I knew him,
Yet I've never seen his face
Snuggled warm and quiet he moved to show he was there
like the touch of butterfly wings created from the love we shared
I'm sorry God kept you as an angel
and that you couldn't be here with us
Wings on your back
a halo on top
would be your destiny
God didn't look deep enough into my heart
for a precious child like you wasn't here for me to treasure
I thought I found a love like no other
that blossomed till the day of your birth
I'm so sorry God kept his little angel
and couldn't send you here to me on earth
This poem is dedicated to little Samuel
Who came and went like a breath of air
but who will be loved forever.
This poem is written for Samuel. Samuel
was stillborn 12 years ago after a undiagnosed placenta previa at 6 months. |
