Baby Death Poem

I wrote this poem after my baby boy passed away on July 7, 2011. He was so loved and such a happy baby. He brought so much joy to our lives every day. He died from SIDS, and we will never be the same.

I Love You This Much

Mommy, Mommy,
please don't cry.
I'm in heaven now,
so dry your eyes.
God is keeping me safe and warm,
just as you did from the day I was born.
We don't know for sure why this happened to me,
but in your heart, mind, and soul I will always be.
We need to cherish the memories,
till the day you're here with me.
Think of all the times you made me laugh and smile.
That should make you feel better Mommy...just for a while?
Even though I passed away so young,
I'm still living, Mommy,
and still so strong.
You made me the little boy I am today,
now let God take over; he has his ways.
I'm an Angel now, Mommy,
watching over you,
so please don't hurt or cry,
I will feel it too.
Oh, I wanted to let you know I have received my wings.
When we see each other again,
I will teach you how to use these things.
I want you to laugh, Mommy,
and I will too.
I know it's so hard and you can't feel my touch,
but just remember, Mommy,
I LOVE YOU THIS MUCH.

I cried reading this poem..Couldn't put it in more beautiful words. My heart is bleeding now- we lost our precious baby boy Louie only four days ago... He was born with a rare bleeding disorder that required a transplant. He was doing great for 5 months - growing and hitting all the milestones:)! His wide shiny eyes were looking right into your heart - stealing it forever. He was shy and flirty with the girls and it was the cutest thing:)!! He was Mommy's snuggle-bug. Never cried, never demanding anything. The sweetest baby you can imagine! Doctors knew he needed transplant. The date came, chemo started. He was sick but oh so strong! Transplant happened after. All was well... but for awhile. His liver started to fail. Then other organs too..Docs did everything they could and more. But... He suffered for 2 long nightmare weeks and was dying for 12 hours in my arms.. This poem brings such needed comfort and peace to my heart now- these are the words that I longed to hear... Thank you so much!
