Forever In My Heart (Aarons Song)

Sometimes I look around me and I see an empty space where you might be playing a sweet smile on your face. You might be calling out to me asking me to play and I would be there with you and you would fill my day. When bedtime comes I'd read to you then before I tuck you in I would open up my arms and you would climb right in. I would kiss your baby cheek and tell you "you're my love". I would hold you close to me and thank the Lord above... But then I look around again and there's just an empty space. No toys scattered on the floor no shinning little face. I'll never hear you call my name or watch you as you grow but you will always be with me no matter where I go. And I know there is a heaven and I know that you are there and you have a better life than I could give you here. Until I take my final breath I will always pray that through God's most precious gift I'll be with you some day. Then, I will take you in my arms and hold you close to me. Your laughter will ring in my ears your smiling face, I'll see. We will be together my precious baby boy and then the only tears I'll cry will be ones of joy. I hope that you can hear me I have so much to say and I never had the chance since you left me that day. For now I want to tell you that I love you so and I am so sorry that you had to go. If you could have stayed with me my dream would have come true and I know I would have done anything for you. And even though you went away and we must be apart I know you will always live forever in my heart.

Oh, love, I am so very sorry for your loss. I have suffered many miscarraiges, but never lost a child that had been born, I can't even let my mind go there, as it hurts too much. You will be together again, and know that, that little boy-o lives with your heart, always in your heart, know that. May you always have love, beautiful poem hun, Kristin

This is a very powerful piece of writing that reveals deep rooted pain. Your pen did a marvelous job of painting this canvas bringing the hurt alive..the longing lives clearly in those words. Great job of writing this exceptional piece.

Robin, I sense you were crying as you were writing. I had tears in my eyes, so I know. My heart breaks for you and I cannot imagine the emptiness and loss you feel. You will be together one day, and that is a beautiful thing to hold onto. Sending hugs. Love, Shar xoxo

Well written poignant lines straight from your heart. This is a pain that will never go away. I hope that the new company of PS can help you ease it though. I also have my empty spaces and wish they were filled by the ones I lost. Great words Robin and God bless...Raul

Thre is a sad undertine to this, but as well there is some acceptance and hope for recontact again. It's never easy losing someone especially a child, but as you note here, you carry him with you. Lovely, it brought tears to my eyes and read like aa sung country song. Michael
