Dear Sweet Baby, so perfect, so still.
please…please baby wake up….your body is limp -
I feel only a part of their pain. I leave to weep silently and quickly.
To leave you in blankets alone leaves you too vulnerable to
Why should her body stop bleeding?

I'll Hold You in Heaven
As I made plans to hold you and rock you:
You were tiny and helpless as you lay in my womb,
But something went wrong and soon you were gone;
My young heart was broken, my tears fell like rain,
I'd never known such heart ache and pain.
I wonder who you look like, me or your dad,
Do you have my smile and his eyes?
Would you have been big and tall or tiny and small?
We had dreams for you that reached to the skies.
It was long, long ago and I still miss you so,
Thanks to Jesus, I'll see you in heaven.
I'll hold you in heaven someday,
When my trials on earth pass away;
The angels have rocked you, the Father watches over you,
I know you're waiting for me;
I never could hold you or tell you "Goodbye",
But I'll hold you in heaven someday.
Sweet Baby
The day you were born God cried for you as your parents did too.
Your journey into this world was never meant to be completed
- how painful for those who anticipated your arrival.
Your mother wept, your father wept, your aunts, uncles, and grand parents wept,
Even those who had not so looked forward to your arrival,
but helped in you into this world wept.
I hold you in my arms so perfect, so beautiful,
how my heart aches to see you this way.
Your skin is like Ivory. Your mom holds you so close as she says goodbye…
she feels your cheek next to hers and lovingly kisses you,
then sadly turns her face as she hands you to me.
Your daddy gently takes you and rocks with his tears rolling down his face.
He is torn between saying goodbye to you and leaving his wife's side,
who is crying and bleeding.
I must be strong for them. As they begin a journey they never anticipated.
Your mom bleeds as her tears roll down her face.
I finally take you. I want to wake you.
You lay in my arms as though you are sleeping.
As I wrap you a final time,
I can't help but to look at your perfect body and wonder "WHY?".
I know why though.
Not every baby is meant to have a journey in this world that we know.
You were not ready. You go on in a journey I can not imagine.
It hurt to finish wrapping you.
those who are curious to see "the baby"
so I must finish after the blankets.
I cannot take you downstairs - ohhh my heart aches,
my eyes burn from trying to not cry and be strong.
Your mother still bleeds. I know why, she has lost the most important thing to her
- her baby.
If she will slow down until she can see
she must do as your dad is doing.
To look beyond, to see her husband is here.
He is to live for now, until she can live for herself, again .
Maybe, hopefully, someday, they can anticipate again.
With tears of joy rather than sorrow after the labor of birth. 
Guess What Mommy & Daddy
Heaven is great.
Just like you said,
There's not much longer to wait.
I have a guardian angel who comes at night.
I told him I wanted to go,
But the times not right.
My angel came this morning.
While you were still in bed,
He came with a warning.
When I left with June.
So you could rest some more,
I knew my time was soon.
When you were finally out of sight,
I told my angel,
The time is just right.
When you still didn't know I was gone,
My angel put his hand in mine,
And I was no longer stiff or sick,I felt so happy & fine.
When the hospital called,I saw you crying from above.
I saw daddy & how scared he was,
And I knew how much I was loved.
On the way to the hospital I heard you pray,
Don't let them bring me back,
I know you don't want God to take me away.
I saw you walk into the ER,and ask is he gone.
I saw the look on your face when the nurse said yes!
It looked like you'd never go on.
I seen you holding me tight.
I kissed you good-bye with my love,
And tried to tell you I was alright.
There's no more pain,
You can go on with your life,
And not feel so drained.
I'll watch you all your days through.
And be like your guardian angel,
Just because, I LOVE YOU!!
