The Night

The night that you passed away, was the night my heart broke and I didn't have much to 
say. The night when you took your last breath, is a night that I will never forget. The way 
that you were so cold and your skin was so pale, when I picked you up I knew that I had 
failed. Failed to realize what was going to happen that night, and failed that I had let you out 
of my sight. I never thought that a night like that would ever come, but even still now, you 
will always be my precious one. You always made me so happy and brought me so much 
joy, you were always mommy's special baby boy. I wish somehow that I could have made 
things right, my heart broke in a million pieces on that night.
