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 Move me Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Richard Lamoureux

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!
