I wrote this poem after my son was diagnosed at 4 with a rare brain stem cancer. As a mom, this was MY WISH

My Wish

©  Shelliegh Southard
My wish this year
Is for you to remain here
I wouldn't know what to do
If forced to lose you

That beautiful smile on your face
Always illuminates a gloomy place
The love that you show me
The way you try to make me see

You will always be my baby boy
That sparkle in your eyes gives me joy
Holding you from the moment you were born
Memories will be comfort, when it's time to mourn

When it's time for you to leave
It will be hard for me to believe
I hope you will feel my last touch
Baby boy, I will miss you so much

If I have to say goodbye
All I will do is cry
Watching my little boy go
My heart will ache with sorrow

When you're gone watch over me
Baby boy make me see
The wings that you earn,
and also the message, I need to learn

My wish this year
Is for you to remain here
I wouldn't know what to do
If forced to lose you

My baby boy
I will always love you

This story has very much touched me. My two year old nephew has leukemia (all) he was doing ok and was in maintenance, but then he almost past because his heart was racing so fast and he almost went into cardiac arrest. But he is doing ok now and we need all the prayers and support for our little man.

This poem has really made me open my eyes. My boys are healthy thank the Lord, but I'm a full time mom, own a business and my husband is in jail. This has just made me open my eyes and see how in any second your everything can be gone. I would be lost without them so I printed this and I'm going to make it bigger and hang it where I can read it everyday. Thank You and God Bless.
