Little One, Precious One

 

Little One, Precious One,

I have some things to say.

Your lovely, fragile heart

took it’s last beat today.

Thoughts of your unseen smile

settle in my mind

and I wish that I could see you

for the first and only time.

A pain rips through my heart

as I cry and let you know,

Today I said Goodbye…

before I got to say Hello.

 

Little One, Precious One

I have some things to do.

I’ll smile through my sadness

and get on with missing you.

I’ll live and love and take care of

the ones that are still here.

I’ll cherish the memories I made up

and wipe away my tear.

I’ll wrap you up and tuck you into

a corner of my soul.

Then I’ll say Goodbye…

before I got to say Hello.

 

I love you, Nephew…Happy birthday

    I am so sorry little precious J.D. that I forgot you on your birthday. I am sorry to your mommy that I didn’t remember with her and share her mourning. I thought of you several times before the day arrived and then let it slip by. Happy Birthday in Heaven my precious grandson. Love, Grandma
