example of poem:





God, Take This Child....


by Nancy Scott





Sweet child whom we never really got to know,


It鈥檚 hard for us to let you go.


We waited and we wanted you.


We had so many dreams for you.





We think of smiles we%26#039;ll never see.


We think of events that will never be.


There will be no first steps and no first teeth.


There is only a void and our own grief.





We planned to take you to places far and near.


We yearned to keep you safe and free from fear.


We hoped to show you much of your new world.


We wanted to teach you as your life unfurled.





It鈥檚 hard to understand why you, our baby, died.


We feel so numb right now, many tears we鈥檝e cried.


We have so many questions and no answers seem to come.


We tried so hard to save you; nothing could be done.





God, we stand before you broken-hearted


and ask you to heal these lives that must be parted


from this little one we can no longer hold,


who will always be a part of us, even when we%26#039;re old.)





God, take this child in your loving arms.


No more can he suffer any harm.


Bless him always and bless us too.


Be with us and help us to make it through.|||My empathy goes out to you. healingheart.net/infant

by Kelly Lancor





My silent child


our precious baby,


Close to my heart


I%26#039;ll keep you with me.


An important job


God has for you,


There is love to give,


and work to do.





He needs an angel


strong but small,


To shine light on many


and give love to all.


Before you go


I give you this,


half my heart


and one last kiss.





We%26#039;ll miss you dearly


that we know,


But by God you were


chosen,


So to heaven, you must go|||Sorry to hear it.
