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?
Poet Introduction
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...

Poet Introduction
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....

To meet you face to face.
Months of waiting and anticipating
To give you my soft embrace.
Poet Introduction
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.
Holding out these empty arms
Cursing my disillusionment
Why did I imagine it could be any other way
that I could have been content, dreams that's all it was

Just a moment in time; it's hard to respond.
A wave crashing onto an empty beach,

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.
This locket that was given to me
Lays gently around my neck.
Inside I carry his picture
Of my son you've never met.

Six years today, my darling son, you came into my world with joy.
