A Lost Baby Boy

  "A Lost Baby Boy"


A ngels stroke soft golden tresses

L onely baby floating on gossamer dresses
O pulent candy clouds embrace tiny frame
S nuggle sad heart while singing his name
T ossed into a new realm of strangers

B rave little soul projects love among dangers
A live in spirit world missing family
B ottle in hand to land of milk and honey
Y earning for kisses from Mommy's sweet lips

B asking in moonlight and silver star drips
O ver the rainbow; across the blue seas
Y esterday breathing in fond memories.

LInda, this is a most precious one you wrote of your lost son. What a heartbreak you didn't see him grow old! You did the perfect number of lines for the contest too!

This is a wondrous poem my friend! I know you have lost a baby in the past and I'm very sorry for that my friend! It is sad whenever the Lord takes back one of his baby children! Especially when we are unprepared to give up that child! But he is still in your heart and will always be there with you! Great work!!
