Baby Death Poem
When I was in college my class was asked to write a poem about balloons. I decided to write one for my nephew who past away after 2 months. He was born prematurely and weighed only 2 lbs 1 ounce. He was such a fighter. They said he wouldn't live a day, but he made it for 2 months. We finally told him it was okay to let go. He could go to heaven and let go of his pain. So this poem is dedicated to everyone who has ever lost a child.

I wonder what color my balloons will be,
but as an Aunt it doesn't matter to me.
It can be many colors, I choose red, green and yellow,
I think I will pick a color for a fellow.
I will let that yellow one go to the sky
and it will fly very high.
Until it reaches heaven for a boy
and he will be filled with so much joy.
I will keep the other two balloons for his brothers and sisters.
And they will be filled with Jobey's whispers.
Jobey didn't live very long and so
his mother and father had to let him go.
He will always be in our hearts,
He will be forever our special sweetheart.
So anytime you see a balloon float by,
think of that someone you love in the sky.
