I awoke this morning and thought of you
Your tiny eyes
And non existent cries
The soft curly hair
Remnants of you being there
Smooth, soft skin
That can only be of my kin
Someone who took my love so deep
That it was you I chose to keep
It was only for a little while
But still long enough to be impacted by your smile
Not only for me that your face kept li
But others were also impacted by it
By the cute little grin
An the tool taped to your chin
Prayers were constantly surrounding you
As you lived without a clue
While you stared and reached for toys
Filled with a young child's joys
Seeming to read the books filling your crib
As you would give the pacifier a small nib
I could only admire your strength through my pain
Holding my head up in the rain
Many times I felt as though forever I would cry
But I had to be strong, or at least try
Thinking of your tiny feet
How they seemed to dance to the beat
And when I use to read you books
The seemingly interested looks
I miss you smiling up at me
Looking in your eye was all I could see
And many mornings you're the first thing in my head
And those remnants remain when I go to bed
