    Poem Commentary

    THIS POEM IS A TRUE STORY. GOD LOVES US. WE DON'T KNOW WHY CHILDREN ARE EFFECTED WITH BIRTH DEFECTS. BUT WHEN GIVEN A CHILD LIKE THIS, YOU MUST LOVE THEM HELPING THEM TO BE THE BEST THEY CAN BE. WHEN IT IS TIME TO LET GO. GOD IS THERE WITH YOU TO HELP YOU MAKE IT THROUGH. GOD BLESS THE FAMILIES THAT ARE LOOSING OR WHO HAVE LOST A CHILD.

    TAKING MY BREATH AWAY

     IT WAS A JOYFUL MOMENT WHEN THROUGH BIRTH YOU CAME TO ME
    BLESSED BY GOD A MOTHER TO BE
    WHEN THEY PUT YOU IN MY ARMS
    I CRIED THE DAY THEY TOLD ME
    YOUR LIFE WAS SHORT TO BE
    YOUR LITTLE HAND HELD MY FINGER
    IN MY HEART SAYING SAVE ME
    THE TEARS FILLED MY EYES FLOWING 
    EVERY WAKING MOMENT MENT
    MORE AND MORE TO ME
    MAKING THE BEST OF EVERYDAY
    BEING THE BEST MOTHER I COULD BE
    I CRIED DEAR GOD
    TAKE HIM NOT FROM ME
    TAKE ME
    HE PLAYED HE LIVED HE GREW
    THEN ONE DAY GOD CAME
    HE TOOK HIM FROM ME
    CRADLED IN MY ARMS HELPLESSLY I CRIED
    EMPTINESS FILLED MY SOUL
    MY HEART CRIED OUT DEAR GOD
    YOUR TAKING MY BREATH AWAY
    I CAN NOT BLAME DEAR GOD
    IT WAS MEANT TO BE
    HE WAS ONLY ON LOAN
    ON HIS GRAVE I KNEELED AND PRAYED
    HIS BODY NOW PERFECT IN HARMONY
    I THANK GOD FOR EVERYDAY
    HE WAS LOANED TO ME
    THE MEMORIES HE LEFT ME
    I CARRY IN MY HEART
     A PICTURE HE'S IN MY ARMS
    LOOKING JUST LIKE ME

    Beautiful, heart-wrenching poem, so lovely is the tiny spirit of a child. We are all gifts to each other and no one ones how much time we will have. Bless You and may this poem and comments from other supportive OP members fill your spirit up with love and you will find a healing of the torn pieces within your heart. Though it may never mend completely, that is the testimony to you embracing the gentle and lovely child.

    I appreciate your thoughts thank you so much.

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
