take me instead

by chritty - Aries


A young man of twenty three
holds a baby and says to him
 my son you look so much like me
the words that the doctor had said
tore his world apart
this beautiful baby boy wouldnt beable to recieve a new heart
We don’t want you to go we need you to stay
there are so many things I want to teach you
there are so many things yet to do
you just got here 
its not fair I only had you for a short time
please God give us more time
born with a fragile heart that couldnt be fixed
something just wasnt right
it was amazing that he made it through the night
a sweet little face with a heavenly smile
blessed this little angel that we only knew for a short while
only a miracle could save  this little man
alot of faith and prayers tooken from our hands
silently we watch his life fade
here on earth he was not suppose to stay
it was his destiny to return to heaven where he was made
by an angel’s tear and the Lord’s kiss
a precious little boy will be missed
a young man of twenty three
holds a baby and says to God
please spare his short lived life and instead take me
