My Precious Son

" My Precious Son " God has sent me a little angel from his heavens up above this angel born to be my baby a precious son for me to love. His arrival was way too early premature three months of time I did not even get to hold him this precious child of mine. For three months and lonely nights in a glass box my child lay I could watch him through a window he was just seven feet away. They would leave my child naked his body was totally bare I wished that I were his blanket to protect and warm him there. He was poked and always prodded my poor child knew no rest I ached to reach out and hold him to snuggle him against my chest. They would not let me near him saying nothing could be done they were following medical protocol and I could not touch my son. Heartbroken as I stood by helpless my son grew too tired to cry always watching him through that window I watched my young son die. Seeing his chest stop moving I watched his last full breath he turned his head and looked at me and closed his eyes in death. A nurse wrapped her arms around me as she took me from that scene the last time that I saw him laying so beautiful and serene. They were lowering his bright white coffin that was lined with velvet blue My Precious Son I love you its god who wanted you. So many years have passed now his memory still lives today My Precious Son I love you we'll be together one day...

The poem was received well and still sits upon the wall above their bed...

Oh my God, this struck home so hard! I don't make it public knowledge on here until now, my son was born a month early and by the time he was 5 months old he had 3 heart surgeries, had RSV, died on the operating room table and came back to me. I begged God to take him right then, if He was so as to I wouldn't fall even more madly in love with him. He is a fighter and I'm still sobbing reading this. You are a WONDERFUL person to write this for them. God bless you MPK, I love your devotion!
