I cannot imagine the courage it takes to live day to day knowing that a part of you is missing. Children are, as you say, precious gifts. I pray that you have found some sort of meaning and peace behind the circumstances that you have overcome. I know that your son is close and that his spirit is alive in you. Thanks for sharing this very heartfelt poem.

love,
jen

    God saw fit to grant me another son...not a replacement but just another one to love. Doctors said it couldn't happen but it did. I have blessed more than once. Thank you.

    Smiles to you, Carol

Absolutely lovely little poem, of course, writing about our children is always so fulfilling. That little boy is adorable, I'm sure is an old picture.

I wish you good luck in the contest.

My heart goes out to you for this precious poem and photo. My son Michael was given to us for 33 precious years and his memory gets brighter every day. Poems are a great way to remember! Luv, Liilian

This work has reached the exceptional level

This is very sad and touching for such a short poem. With only 4 verses, you are able to touch the hearts of the reader. This seems very personal and a hard thing to share.

Very sad and quite heart-felt poem of Michael's short time here on earth. I was moved to tears by the gorgeous picture you used to accompany this fine piece...an adorable child! Hugs and smiles, Susanne
