My Precious gift

by sasha - Aries

A beautiful little boy
was a gift from God
Such an unexpected joy
Not long after the doctors came and said
To prepare our hearts and our heads
Our angel would soon be going away
I cried and beg the Lord to let you stay
A little heart so fragile and weak
There were no words of comfort that anyone could speak
I just held you tight
There was nothing that they could do
the damage was already done and we had to say goodbye to you
I closed my eyes in denial and told myself that you would be alright
Your father didnt know what to say
Like me he desperatly wanted his little man to stay
Now I hold you in my arms and pray
Caress your small little cheeks and these are the words that I had to say
Hush my precious child
Its time for you to sleep
No more tears will your pretty brown eyes weep
I’ll cuddle you tightly in my arms
Kiss your sweet little forehead and protect you from harm
Your sweet scent I will always remember
Precious little moments we had together
hush my dear sweet child 
for the pain will be no longer
Ill sing you a lullaby 
hold you in my arms and wonder why
So little time have you lived here with me
My only son my little baby
But its not meant for you to be here
God as called you up to heaven
He needs you there
His little angel will feel better in his arms
only he alone can protect your from pain and harm
No more crying my little prince
Much better place you’ll be 
flying with the angels just above daddy and mommy
No more pain or suffering only happiness and laughter
Heartache and tears we can only cry here after
You’ll fly to heaven with the angels
and the emptiness of your prescence will fill my heart
When you take your last little breath
and our two worlds part
Your smile and your tender love
Share  them with the angels in heaven up above
One day we shall walk hand and hand together as one
 I’ll miss you my baby my precious little son
Even though my heart is broke
These are the kind words that the Lord had spoke
Although my child your heart is hurting and full of sorrow
I promise I will keep your precious joy safe until you can be together tomorrow

Reason for writing:
