I've Earned My Wings

© Justice
I'm sorry mommy I left you so soon,
I was there when the angels woke you up at noon.
I know I was gone from the flash from the start,
Mommy Remember!
I'll always be in your heart.
I listen to you dearly, when you visit my grave.
Please don't cry, be sad. Continue to be brave.
I didn't mean to leave you and daddy so soon.
I was looking from heaven when everyone released their balloons.
Take care of my big brother, big sister, and daddy too.
There will always and forever be a part of me living in you.
I'll be waiting for you here, at the golden gate.
Time is ticking mommy, Please don't be late!
I long to embrace you in my arms.
Don't worry Mommy!
I'm at a place where there is no harm.
I've earned my wings. I live in the sky.
I'm watching everyday mommy so please don't cry!

Love, Your Son

  • I'm a mommy that lost a daughter and this is precious. We released pink balloons at her funeral and I felt like she seen them and us the entire time. That sad day will stay with me forever but so will she, in my heart and in spirit.

  • Just beautiful indeed. I'm sorry for all the loss that touches peoples hearts when a baby dies. My cousin/family just lost her little 6 month boy to SIDS (cot death) this week and I was searching for something to put in a scrapbook collection...and this is the perfect poem if you don't mind it being shared. Its a beautiful way to heal and share in the grief. We all have ways of dealing with loss and expressing this. You have a Godly talent of the written word. Thank you very much for sharing :-) Allison- Melb Aus

  • Well on February 8th I lost my only daughter to a very serious car accident that took her life she was only 17 years old. She has 2 brother's and we really don't know how to cope with our loss. We loss their father the same month last year and October of last year her grandmother and now her I can't believe I'll never see her again. I love and miss her so much I sleep with her coat at night so I can be close to her. How does a person cope with the lose of their child I don't know I feel like my daughter is helping me through.....

  • This poem is so beautiful.
    Today we said our goodbyes to our precious daughter Tami, or loving son-in-law Rick and our adorable grandbaby Bailee. They were taken from us so quickly and tragically on June 12, 2011. At their service today we released 100 blue, red and pink balloons, and I believe they were watching as they took flight, because they rose and went straight towards the direction of where they had been living and where other family members were, that were not able to be with us on this difficult day :) I am going to print this off and put it with our memorial collage that we will be making in their honour.

  • My best friend just lost her daughter on July 15th, 2011....Aubree Faith was born June 24th, 2011. She was only 21 days old. And was my first Goddaughter, I was soooo happy when she asked me to go along the journey with her. When that phone call came across about Aubrre passing, I was devastated. Aubree died from SIDS~ I didn't know what to say or how to even feel. Knowing that my best friend had to go thru something so terrible and I couldn't console her but so much. This is a very nice poem...If I can find a way thru the tears to read this again I definitely would! Good job...Love it~ RIP Lit'l Miss Aubree, We love and miss you bunches~ <3

  • This poem is very sad. But it is a good poem. I was much younger when I lost my baby brother but I'm now 14 and still dealing with it. All I have is a picture and a death certificate to remember him. R.I.P.

  • My son Tyler was killed in a car wreck Jan 13 2012. He was standing on my front porch when I left for work and the next time I see him he's in his coffin. "I've Earned My Wings" is written for a younger child. Tyler would have been 20 next week. By substituting a Mom for mommy and brother for daddy it is a very fitting poem for the back of my sons headstone. Well our headstone. I'm getting a mother son stone. The poem makes me cry everytime. The hardest pain to endure is the pain of losing a child, we are planning his birthday celebration in a couple of days. Friends and family will go our the cemetery and we will write messages on our balloons sing happy birthday and let them go

He has a older brother that is soon to be 3 and a sister that turned 4 yesterday. When he passed I started looking up poems so I could print 1 out and give it to my brother and sisteri n law. It's a really great poem. (: rip chance!! Aunt sika loves an misses you oh so much
