Nicholas' Touch: Nicholas' Name Plate

NICHOLAS WARREN REEVES

OUR SWEET ANGEL BABY

NOVEMBER 7, 2008

Dear Mommy and Daddy,

Before we said our first hello,

The time had already passed.

For when you held me in your arms,

I had gone to heaven to rest.

I felt angelic tears down my cheeks,

And I watched you as you wept.

I wish I could have changed it all,

Your tears touched my soul so deep

But mommy & daddy when you are sad,

Please be assured I know.

For death cannot take away your love,

It will only continue to grow.

When you are feeling far away,

And missing me so much.

Close your eyes and feel my wings,

Their soft and gentle touch.

Or at night as you sleep,

I will join you in a dream.

You will see me standing close to you.

And we’ll be lost within my wings.

So my dear mommy and daddy,

As you go from day to day,

Find comfort in the knowledge,

I am never that far away.

Nicholas' Name Plate

In a much previous post I talked about the stunning cradle my brother made us when we were expecting our first baby. I talked about how we have gold plates on it for each child that has blessed our family and has slept in it. When we went to order Madison's, I ordered one for Nicholas too. Although our baby boy didn't have a chance to sleep in it, he deserves to be remembered with his brothers, sister and cousins.
