A Letter to Heaven


My dear boy, you would be turning two!
Those weeks I had with you, too few.

I find myself going back to that day
when the doctor had news too devastating to say

Your fragile heart was no longer beating,
and I realised that day we would not be meeting.

Your short but powerful life completely affected me
my days and others - all so different I see.

Life is now seen through a whole different lens
I treasure life's sweet blessings and friends.

I do get sad when it seems so easy for others
and I watch people take on their new role as mothers

But you taught me so much in a short little while
I can say "bring it on" to any a trial!

I love you so much, I want you to know
that I am YOUR mother and I miss you SO!
