God gave me an angel,
A sweet, smiling baby girl.
He gave her to me...
10 little fingers, 10 tiny toes...all curled.
Death of a loved one is always a cause for mourning. However, when a baby dies, there is a sadness that goes beyond normal grief. We are programmed to expect that the old outlive the young. When a person who has lived a full life passes away, there is a sense that everything is as it should be. When a baby passes, who has not even has the chance to experience life, his death seems meaningless. If he was meant to die so soon why did he even come into the world?
God gave me an angel,
A sweet, smiling baby girl.
He gave her to me...
10 little fingers, 10 tiny toes...all curled.

Are there rocking chairs in Heaven
where little babies go?
Do the angels hold you closely
and rock you to and fro?
On July 8, 2017, I lost my precious three month old granddaughter. She was at the sitter's and was found face down in the playpen. I received the call to rush to the hospital while my...
They tell me it's amazing how I've stayed so strong,
but they don't see how I cry when I hear your song.
They see the smile on my face but miss the hurt in my eye.
I would rather seem rude than let them see me cry.
Great poem. My wife and I had just moved in our new house and went to sleep and woke up to our almost two-year-old baby boy not breathing. They said it was SIDS. It was the worst feeling in...

Dear Grandpa,
I don't want you to worry about me.
This was the plan from the very first day.
This poem is sad. It’s very sad to lose someone, especially a child or grandchild, and things like that happen all the time. What makes it even sadder is being a mom, dad, grandpa, or...
Picture
There are no words to say but, "I love you,"
For I've shed tears to not have heard you coo.
A mother's joy turned to grief in a moment so fast,
You were here, you were near. You grew, and I knew you were alive. I felt you move, I saw you grow, I heard your heart beat. My boy, that was your name, until I could learn to love your name....
Despair.
falling deeper & deeper each day.
wondering what else I'll lose
and wondering if it'll go away.
On 8-2-2012 I lost my baby girl. She was stillborn, was so heart broken, got to hold my baby for couple hours then they took her. I did not want to let go of her but I know I have to. Was 28...

The hills, the valleys
and the bends.
Going up and down each day,
wondering if my heart will mend.
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,
Precious in your little frame, you danced into my heart.
And with the grace with which you came, with grace you did depart.
You held my finger in your hand, and with it held my soul.
I fell in love with those wide eyes, one kiss and I was whole.
My baby girl died last April 15, 2017 because of congenital heart disease and did not survive the open heart surgery at the age of 1 year and nine months. Tomorrow (July 31) is her birthday....
It's time to say goodbye,
and we don't understand why.
Today is the day we lay
our little man to rest.
My 4 month old cousin passed away almost 2 weeks ago to SIDS. He was the smiliest most angelic little boy I've ever had the pleasure of coming into contact with. This poem made me cry. Thank you
