Sweet Baby

I can't imagine what the parents of these poor angels are going through today as their little ones were taken away. I am so sorry.So long my dear, wrap yourself tigh God bless and you have my prayers.

So long my dear, wrap yourself tight,
the wind is cold and will chill you on sight.
Hurry now you are running late.
This bus will come to carry you to  fate.
Go to school now my child, and hurry home to dinner.
My angel, my love, my little award winner.
I know not what destiny beholds you today,
I give you a kiss and send you on your way.
When you leave, there's a emptiness with me,
when you are near, you fill me with glee.
There is a boy who will come to carry you home,
they say he was sick and always alone.
Forgive him baby, for he knows not what he did,
he, like you, was just a little kid.
You will sprout wings and soar to the sky,
I will miss you forever and forever I'll cry.
Now you really are an angel of light,
I'll never forget you, you will never leave my sight.
Be a sweet baby like I know that you are,
know that wherever I am, I am never that far.
I love you so much, there's a hole in my heart,
I never feared a day as much as now that we're apart.
I knew you sweet baby, even before you were born,
now God has you angel, my heavy heart is torn.

I'm speechless, the incident at sandy was so tragic, but this poem has such beauty in its tragedy. You're so talented. I'm so emotional after reading this, "I love you so much, there's a hole in my heart, I never feared a day as much as now that we're apart" Your memories will live on forever. Great write.

As was I when I heard about this. The words just started to flow out as I can only try to imagine what these parents are going through. Thank you for reading.

This was beautifully written, though it was so sad. My heart and prayers go out to these parents. I hope god watches over them in their time of need. I could not imagine going through this. I am so sorry.

Thank you dear and I agree. Words cannot express how sad I am for these poor people. We may never understand why people do these sorts of things, it's so terrible.

I agree, I cant put this into words either. How someone could do this and then how the families feel. All I can say is broke my heart and I cried.
