In Memory of Our Sweet Baby B

I found these poems earlier this week and thought that they were a perfect way to describe the feelings that we are experiencing right now as we grieve and remember our sweet Baby B that was taken much too soon from us.

Dear little one ~

It has been one week today since we said goodbye and it still saddens us so that you are gone.....we miss you so much and continue to wish that you were still here with us. At only 15 weeks 5 days old you exited our lives far too soon, but we know that you are now with God and he is holding you safely and lovingly in his arms in Heaven and now, you are one of His special Angels to look over us from above. I can only hope and pray that you knew how much we wanted you and longed to meet you and hold you in our arms. We loved you so, so very much and you will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Till we meet again, we will love you and miss you more than you'll ever know.

Love always,
Mommy, daddy and Hudson


Baby Of Mine

You were only here for a short time.
I never held you, but you're still mine.
My dreams for you reached as high as the stars.
Now you're dancing with them, in heaven afar.
The love I felt for you while in my womb,
is as constant as the omnipresent moon.
I will never forget you. I will always love you.
I will always feel you. I'll forever miss you.
You never rested upon my chest.
I never felt the softness of your baby's breath.
In God's loving arms, you wait for me.
There will come a day when we'll finally be-
Mother and Child, reunited for all time.
I will always love you, Baby Of Mine.

Heavenly Lullaby

I wanted to rock you in my arms,
I wanted to sing to you of the day.
I wanted to hum of the moon and sky,
in this, my heavenly lullaby.

A chair in the corner gently sways.
I dreamed of the moment,
I dreamed of the day.
When you would be cradled,
by and by-and I'd sing to you this lullaby.

I look to the Heaven's and then I start
to sing from my soul, to sing from my heart.
I pray to the angels, asking them to-
carry my lullaby straight to you.

Although you're not with me I know you're mine.
God wanted you with Him, in His world divine.
Just maybe, my baby, you were too good to be here,
so you went to Heaven and now you live there.

Always remember your Mommy down here.
My love overflows like the river of tears-
I cried when you left me- still do by and by.
That's why I sing you Heaven's Lullaby.

I look to the Heaven's and then I start
to sing from my soul, to sing from my heart.
I pray to the angels, asking them to-
carry my lullaby straight to you.

I know you don't want me to cry more tears.
So I'll try to dry them for you, my dear.
I'll keep up my strength, as best as I can.
I'll cling to my faith and believe in His plan.

You'll be in my heart, forever more.
I'll think of you always and then some more.
When you hear me singing, by and by.
My song is for you, Heaven's Lullaby.

I look to the Heaven's and then I start
to sing from my soul, to sing from my heart.
I pray to the angels, asking them to-
carry my lullaby straight to you.
