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?

where little babies go?
Do the angels hold you closely
and rock you to and fro?

Dear Grandpa,
I don't want you to worry about me.

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. ...

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,

My arms are so empty to hold you just once

My beautiful Hayley, one year old, how great you are to love and hold.
Your smile through your tears makes me cry too, because I don't want this happening to you.
You're an angel that hasn't done anything wrong and you're a baby that shouldn't have to be strong, but strong you are, as I can see.
When you can hardly breathe and you watch and laugh at children swinging from trees and you play peek-a-boo and smile at me,

That we move on,
When the life I had inside me
Has come and gone!
