Nicholas' Light

Nicholas’ Light

Happy Birthday, to our sweet boy,

Oh how we wish you were here.

To run and play

Do all things boy,

I imagine it with a tear.

Our hearts have been filled with both joy and pain,

Since we held your tiny hand.

I just close my eyes and can see your face,

Perfect nose, perfect lips…perfect name.

We have gained so much from your short stay,

You’ve left footprints on all of our hearts,

We share our story in hopes to reach others,

When their journey unfortunately starts.

Your legacy lives on, sweet Nicholas

My vow from the very start,

Was to protect your memory

As only mommy can do,

When we are forced to be apart.

How I wish you could grow while in my arms,

And I could see your biggest smile

Those precious moments are always missed

You’ll forever be my child

Enjoy your show tonight, my love

You will have the most magical view,

We will light the night with lanterns galore,

And send them, with love, to you.

Love, Mommy ~ November 7, 2012
