Poem
I had a baby boy
that never got to grow up and play with even a single toy
He laid on my lap
in a special towel wrap
His body was perfect
but yet too small
I loved him so
I never wanted to let him go
i was told he was perfect
he just didn’t hold.
The told me they thought the baby was a boy
that would have grown to bring me much joy
His name was to be Brandon
He was only around 16 weeks old
or so I was told
Maybe I will ask for a mother’s day ring
with his precious stone wrapped around his sister’s gems
then unitedly love will sing for love
Reflection
Brandon was not born to live, but to die. His life was a grand one while I carried him. I begged him to stay, but he must have heard a refusal, and came tumbling out. When I got the news that I passed my son my heart broke in a million pieces. I have found piece about his death. I regret one thing, and that is I never got to bury him, because he never reached 20 weeks old. I think if I could have a mother’s day ring with his stone in it I would feel better. Many mothers now are saving locks of their hair or having some ashes placed in an urn. Sometimes loves shows up in an urn, locket, or birthstone ring.
Very moving poem! I am so sorry for your loss! You are a strong and wise person, my best wishes are with you!
Touching and written from the heart, thank you for sharing.
Thank you Teila for the great compliment.
That’s why they say the world is colorful. Because we are all different in color and character. Have faith time is the best doctor.
Thank you lacho59 for that thought provoking message. it helped
I share your pain, but my type of grief is different. We are all human beings and we are meant to care. The love that a person is very special and love is a flame that is eternal no matter what.
You are so right. I tell my sister it is great to think of her son daily. I just try not to tell her to keep talking about the actual tragedy. I tell her to try to remember him in a more positive way. I do not know how else to help.
In those circumstances the best you can do is to be there, but I know I feel helpless watching others suffer loss. She just needs people to be there.
You know I share your pain on a different level, and there are many things in life we will never understand.
Thank you Carol for your insight on this topic
You are very welcome my dear friend.

Well Alex I have had my share of tragedies i am not a quitter and I will fight until the very end, so you see i will have earned that sword when you ever decide to draw me holding one lol
Technically I have drawn it already, I just want to fix it or redraw it because it doesn’t look anything like you
Look at my profile then draw a stick person of me lol.
I really need to get my website sorted before I start any out of band projects
A mystery of life has been present in your arms. The short beauty that brings tears yet brings wisdom and courage to live that not everyone has.
Thank you Albert for your caring thoughts
I’m sorry for your loss.
I hope you’re better now already…
