61. An Angel's Dad!
- By Daniel Kerr
- Published: March 2013
in Baby Death Poems

I can't begin to express the pain that I am in.
I lost a part of me, and that hurts me deep within.
You said goodbye before we ever got the chance to really say hello.
You were gone in a flash, leaving tears mixed with love and sorrow.

I can't begin to express the pain that I am in.
I lost a part of me, and that hurts me deep within.
You said goodbye before we ever got the chance to really say hello.
You were gone in a flash, leaving tears mixed with love and sorrow.
I don't know if you chose your path or it was chosen for you,
but I'm glad I was on your journey before you got your wings and flew.
You're my angel now watching over us from above,
My inspiration for life and my teacher of the meaning of love.
In 19 days, you taught me more than I even thought I could know.
How could something so small have so much courage to show?
You taught me that I need to stay strong and never give up,
that it doesn't matter if it is half empty or full, just enjoy the cup.
It's funny how someone that was only here for such a little while
can be remembered with every heartbeat, tear, and smile.
The pain I have in my chest does not make me feel sad;
it's just the battle wound I have for being an Angel's Dad!

62. Baby Boy Silas
- By Lisa D. Jessie

The Loss Of A Grandchild

in Baby Death Poems

Now we lay you down to sleep.
Our baby boy's soul to keep.
We pray you feel how much you're loved.
So many hearts you've surely touched.

Now we lay you down to sleep.
Our baby boy's soul to keep.
We pray you feel how much you're loved.
So many hearts you've surely touched.

You've had our hearts from day one.
A blessing above to be given a son.
I'd hoped to cradle you and rock you fast asleep,
Holding you so close feeling every single heartbeat.

To hear your first sweet words or watch that first step,
Playing peek-a-boo with you, our hearts would surely melt.
For this is not goodbye; God has promised this to me.
You will always be our baby, and in our hearts you'll always be.

For our sweet baby boy, today you've gained your wings.
As we hand you back to God, we can hear those angels sing.
Heaven will be waiting for you, and until that day you greet us,
Our baby you'll always be; letting go unto the arms of Jesus.

63. A Letter To Brian
- By Carol Cooper
- Published: September 2016
Never Forget Your Child

in Son Death Poems

Dear Brian,

Can you see me when I cry?
Do you know when I will die?

Dear Brian,

Can you see me when I cry?
Do you know when I will die?
Is it true you are always near?
Is it true you feel no fear?
Can you feel the pain I feel?
Is it true that time will heal?
Do you know that I miss you so much?
Is it true you are no longer here to touch?
Is it true we are still just one?
Will you always be my son?
Will I be with you someday?
Is death the only way?
Will you always live in my heart?
Will our souls never be apart?
Will you promise to rest in peace, my love?
Will you always be my angel up above?

Written from my heart with unconditional love,
Mom

64. Waiting For Heaven
- By Patricia L. Cisco
- Published: November 2020
Loss Of My Beloved Son

in Son Death Poems

Your very first breath of life, I was there.
Tiny miracle of God, you appeared,
overflowing with joy, my eyes cried a tear,
outstretching my arms to hold you so near.

Your very first breath of life, I was there.
Tiny miracle of God, you appeared,
overflowing with joy, my eyes cried a tear,
outstretching my arms to hold you so near.

You're part of me now, my heart and my soul,
more precious than pearls, diamonds and gold,
sweet baby of mine to love and to hold,
through my many years till I grow very old.

Filled with amazement as I watched you grow,
my child, my son, to the young man I'd know,
never believing one day you would go
to Heaven before me, "Please! Dear God, no!"

More treasured to me than air that I breathe.
No, you were to stay and someday I'd leave.
I don't want to stay here without you to grieve.
No, you were to stay and someday I'd leave!

I've no understanding why or how this can be,
my sweet son's in Heaven so soon before me.
Overflowing with sorrow, my eyes cry a tear,
outstretching my arms, though I can't see you here.

I know in my heart all the love that we share,
on my very last breath of life you'll be there,
with outstretched arms, I know you'll appear,
just waiting in Heaven to hold me so near.

65. Gone But Not Forgotten
- By Timothy Halliday
- Published: October 2020
Loss Due To Stillbirth

in Baby Death Poems

You were a ripple on a glass-like pond,
Just a moment in time; it's hard to respond.

A wave crashing onto an empty beach,

You were a ripple on a glass-like pond,
Just a moment in time; it's hard to respond.

A wave crashing onto an empty beach,
I went to talk, but I've lost all speech.

A whisper in the winter night's air.
How can this be true, how can this be fair?

You were meant to live; this just feels rotten.
You're gone now, but you're not forgotten.

A ray of sunshine through darkened clouds.
The silence is deafening amidst the crowds.

The sound of a bee on a summer's day,
You were here for a moment, but then you went away.

I keep you in my heart like a trap I'm caught in.
You're gone now, but you're not forgotten.

I will love you always, you have to know.
You were so small, no time to grow.

You were here for a moment, and then you were gone.
It's hard to move forward; it's hard to go on.

I remember you still; I wrapped you in cotton.
You're gone now, but you're not forgotten.

I want to shout, and I still want to scream.
I want to wake up out of this terrible dream.

Your beauty took my breath away.
I wish you could still be here; I wish you could stay.

I'm meant to move on; I'm meant to climb,
But how do I move past that brief moment in time?

There's only one thought when I remember you now.
The promise I made, I remember my vow.

I know what I told you; I'd love you forever.
You're gone now, but forget you? Never!!

So remember please my only begotten.
You're gone now, but you're not forgotten...

67. Absent From The Body
- By Lenora McWhorter
- Published: July 2020
We'll Always Remember You

in In Memory Poems

You have served your time
and lived out your days.
You have now made the move
from your house of clay.

You have served your time
and lived out your days.
You have now made the move
from your house of clay.

You went on ahead of us,
as you answered the call.
We, too, must take our leave,
not just some of us, but all.

We can no longer see you,
but we can feel you near.
You are hidden in our hearts,
and we'll always hold you dear.

We can no longer hear you,
but we will keep you close.
The memories of you are many,
and the love will not grow old.

We can no longer touch you,
but thoughts of you remain.
We remember your kindness
and the love we exchanged.

You are absent from the body;
it has now returned to the dust.
But your spirit lives on
and will reunite with us.

68. A Call From Heaven
- By Zeb Edington
- Published: November 2018
Poem About Grief Over Losing Someone Very Close

in Grief Poems

I lie awake long into the night,
Hoping that maybe you just might
Give me a call to say you're okay
And let me know you made it through the day.

I lie awake long into the night,
Hoping that maybe you just might
Give me a call to say you're okay
And let me know you made it through the day.

I would give everything that I have
To make you feel not so sad.
I know the pain is sometimes too great,
But the love was something you can never mistake.

I long for the day when I see you again.
Then we can talk about where all we've been.
We can think about all the times we had,
How we've missed each other ever so bad.

I feel like I've been cheated and robbed so blind.
God took you away when I thought you were mine.
Now I'm stuck here and feel so alone
As I sit and wait right beside the phone.

You gave me a life and everything I have.
I couldn't say no, even when I was mad.
You gave me my children that I hold so dear.
You took away everything that I ever feared.

As the hurt seems to fade but the memories are bright,
Maybe I'll see you in a dream tonight.
That's all I can hope for until the day
When were together in heaven for an eternity.

69. A Beautiful Little Angel
- By Amor Hall - Pineda

Poem For Niece Whose Baby Died

in Baby Death Poems

Heart full of joy and excitement
To meet you face to face.
Months of waiting and anticipating
To give you my soft embrace.

Heart full of joy and excitement
To meet you face to face.
Months of waiting and anticipating
To give you my soft embrace.

Amazed at God's blessed marvel,
I watched in wonder as you grew.
For nine months you were my daily miracle,
Every move I felt, sparked a love so new.

Now my little one lies here with me,
In a deep slumber she'll forever be.
Pretty eyes I'll never be able to see,
Nor hear her voice be filled with glee.

My heart is in grief; it feels so empty.
The reason you're gone is still a mystery.
You are my beautiful little angel.
Most treasured but not meant to be with me.

Rest now, my beautiful little angel...
You are loved and you will be missed.
Forever in our heart is where you'll stay,
Until we see you again someday.

70. I'm Here For You
- By Meljo
- Published: October 2009
A Heartfelt Poem For A Grieving Friend

in Grief Poems

I feel your sadness
Oh, how can I take away your tears
You are truly one incredible mother
Who's been through so much in all those years

I feel your sadness
Oh, how can I take away your tears
You are truly one incredible mother
Who's been through so much in all those years

My dearest dearest Lisa
I don't know what to say
Oh, so much tragedy
Has finally come your way

I wish I could take some of your misery
And share part of your deep wrenching pain
I wish that God would somehow reject Dom in heaven
And brings him back to us again

I wish I can just come right over
And tell you that everything is all right
I wish I can just do something, anything
Or just to hold you tight

I know you just want to be alone right now
To try and make sense of what's going on
To try and answer the many 'why' questions
And how to ever move on

I wish you will eventually find some comfort
In knowing that you did your best
But there was nothing that anyone could've done for our little angel
And now he lays to rest

I'm sure he knows how much he was loved by you
He had the best Mummy in the whole wide world
Who would trade her life for him if she could
If only that were possible

I know that no one can take away your suffering
Or even really feel your pain
But I want you to know that I'm here for you
Waiting for you to get back on your feet again

71. Shore Of Sorrow's Sea
- By Patricia L. Cisco
- Published: August 2019
A Mother's Grief For Her Child

in Grief Poems

By the shore of Sorrow's sea,
waves of tears roll endlessly,

cries that pierce this misty veil,

By the shore of Sorrow's sea,
waves of tears roll endlessly,

cries that pierce this misty veil,
on wings of echoed winds take sail,

osmium heart, head bowed in hand,
her lonely footprints on the sand.

By the shore of Sorrow's sea,
sitting, waiting patiently,

holding every memory
on this side of eternity,

a mother's love will always be
by the shore of Sorrow's sea.

Until the day her soul is free,
she strolls the shore of Sorrow's sea.

72. Hills & Valleys
- By Sue Morton
- Published: February 2009
in Baby Death Poems

The hills, the valleys
and the bends.
Going up and down each day,
wondering if my heart will mend.

The hills, the valleys
and the bends.
Going up and down each day,
wondering if my heart will mend.

Sure, the pain will lessen
and I'll genuinely smile once more,
but the emptiness will stay
and my heart will forever be sore.

You were all I ever wanted,
and now you'll never be.
You were going to be my future;
now that has ceased for me.

I can't help this feeling
of feeling so alone,
but I just can't talk about it.
I don't want to be a moan.

So I'll keep writing
and talking to you in my mind.
Until we meet one day
and then true joy I will find.

I'm not saying
it's going to be soon,
even if it's years from now,
my joy will be over the moon.

God has tiny angels,

Looking over you and me
Now it has little Carley Jean,

God has tiny angels,
Flying in his heaven,
Looking over you and me
Now it has little Carley Jean,
A tiny angel has received her wings.

She's watching over her little sister,
And her mommy especially.
She's wrapping her tiny angel wings
Around their hearts so very gently.

She sees her loving family
with so much love in their eyes,
She holds her tiny angel heart,
And knows, true love never dies.

Celebrating A Birthday In Heaven

Your birthday is here again,
but in heaven you will be.
We will celebrate your special day
visiting you and your memorial tree.

Your birthday is here again,
but in heaven you will be.
We will celebrate your special day
visiting you and your memorial tree.

You are now another year older;
this will never show on your face.
In heaven you are a child forever
as this is your magical place.

We call out your precious name
and send balloons up to the sky.
We watch them fade into the clouds.
The wind has sent them up high.

We hope you have a party up there
with the balloons we sent to you.
Presents to open from the angels
and a cake with some candles too!

We will sing you Happy Birthday,
but we try not to shed a tear
as this should be a happy day
we will celebrate each year.

75. Sometimes In Our Lives

Sometimes in our lives
we feel a great deal of pain
because we lose someone special.
These feelings we can't explain.

Sometimes in our lives
we feel a great deal of pain
because we lose someone special.
These feelings we can't explain.

Sometimes in our lives
the lasting of the pain is far too long,
and though we try to fight it,
the feelings are just too strong.

Sometimes in our lives
things can't be controlled,
though we wish they could.
The secrets left untold.

Sometimes in our lives
we see things differently from what they are,
but if we actually saw the truth,
it might leave a nasty scar.

Sometimes in our lives
the truth is better left alone
because in all actuality
the truth is nothing but our foe.

76. Holding You Close

Even though you're gone,
I can still feel you here.
Even though I didn't know you,
I can still feel you here.

Even though you're gone,
I can still feel you here.
Even though I didn't know you,
I can still feel you here.

One tiny little thing
Reminds me of you each day.
I hold close to my heart,
This one tiny little thing.

The picture I look at,
With tears in my eyes,
Reminds me of you more and more,
Just one look at that picture.

You were so beautiful,
That tiny graceful face,
Such a cute little baby,
More beautiful than most.

I wish you were here now,
Right here by my side,
'Cause maybe you could wipe away my tears,
If only you were here.

Always treasure the small things.
The small things in your life,
They can mean the most important things,
Those tiny treasures in life.

Now never ever forget,
Keep you friends close to you,
Your family closer,
And once they're gone,
Keep what was special to them.
They are the things that help you remember.

77. A Mother's Touch

Lay down my little angel
I will rock you to sleep
Close your eyes my little angel,
And don't make a peep.
She holds you close or so you think;
Until you awake and her touch is a dream.

What happened to the warmth, her hands used to bring.
What happened to the mellow, her sweet voice used to sing.
What happened to the smell, her perfume left behind?
What happened to the kiss, she left on my forehead.
What happened to the prayer, she said before bed.

Was it just a dream or long, long ago?
Maybe a year or three.
I guess I will never know.

Will I ever feel her touch?
Will I ever see her smile?
Will she ever kiss my forehead?
Will she ever pray with me just before bed?

Am I her little angel or was it just a dream?
Am I her little angel or so it seemed?
