Memories of You

 Treyvon Anthony Favors
6/15/97 to 6/15/97



I was blessed with the 
beauty of you
Forever in my heart you 
are so true
But you couldnt stay you 
had heaven in wait
My heart still full of the 
one I did create
I shall always feel this guilt 
inside so deep
There's days I feel you and 
all I do is weep
Son I miss you even though 
time was not long
I feel taking you from 
me was so wrong
My love for you grows even 
stronger each day
I know you wasn't meant to 
be here long or stay
Forgive your loving mother for 
what she had done
Never thought that it all would 
cost me my son
You within my arms as you 
opened your eyes
Wishing and praying I would 
hear your cries
But all I heard was a silence 
that broke my heart
To know that from the beginning 
your life wouldn't start
But I will cherish those few moments
you looked at me
You knew of my love, making it
easier to set you free
Free but never from my heart,mind,
or soul
Memories of you keeps me alive 
today and whole

I know how much despair the tormenting memories of your tragic lose grieve you, Brenda...and now I understand even more a mother's great love and heartache having read Jennifer's comments below. Never blame yourself for one second...the guilt of the crime belongs solely to that of another...and may God forgive him -- because most won't! God in his great infinite wisdom will ensure your son lives again...his life was not in vain. With the greatest affection as always. :) john

As I told Jennifer it's the worst pain! But I have to let go and stop taking the blame your so right! But no matter how much I do I know me and I will forever hold myself to blame for this! I should have just left! But thank you John!;) All my affection B

Hi Brenda, I can relate to your story 100% of the way and it touched me deeply to my very core. I lost my first baby, but because the doctor was going on holiday, he suggested I had a ceaser. I did, but when I woke up I asked to see my baby, he was not there, they rushed him to the biggest hospital in Johannesburg, but my angel died at 3 days old. My husband and parents were with him the whole time, but with a caesar years back, had to stay in hospital. My heart broke! Hugs, Jennifer.

This is very emotional, Brenda. I can picture those few moments when you and him looked into each others eyes....definitely something which will stay with you all your life. A loss leaves such a void... Warm regards // paul

Thank you Paul! He will forever be in my heart! And it's the worse feeling in the world! I gave birth to him at home all alone! His father had just beat me half to death so that's where my guilt comes from! And looking in his eyes was a moment I will never forget!
