My Little Angel

they handed you to me
my heart filled with joy
my beautiful little boy
then they spoke
and my heart shattered
He's not gonna make it
I held you close
not my little angel
I kissed your face
please stay with me little one
the hours passed
and I prayed that you wouldn't be taken
luck wasn't with me that day
you, my little angel, were taken
your life was cut short
my heart ached
why did this happen
I miss you little one

Oh Nicole, very, very sad poem. My heart aches so much. I am a father and I could feel the pain and bitterness of such situation. Pray to God for additional courage and faith. Ernilando
