JUST THOSE FEW WEEKS
For those few weeks-
I had you to myself.
And that seems to short of time
To be changed so profoundly.

In those few weeks-
I came to know you...
And to love you.
You came to trust me with your life.
Oh, what a life I had planned for you!
Just those few weeks-
When I lost you,
I lost a lifetime of hopes,
plans, dreams, and aspirations...
A slice of my future simply vanished overnight.

Just those few weeks-
It wasn't enough time to convince others
How special and important you were.
How odd, a truly unique person has recently died
And no one is mourning the passing.

Just a mere few weeks- And no "normal" person would cry all night
Over a tiny, unfinished baby,
Or get depressed and withdraw day after endless day.
No one would, so why am I?

You were just those few weeks my little one
You darted in and out of my life too quickly.
But it seems that's all the time you needed
To make my life so much richer-
And give me a small glimpse of eternity.

MY LITTLEST ANGELS
My dear little Angels, I just want to say,
I 'll never forget you, so don't go away,
My sweet little girls and my brave little boys,
Are playing in Heaven with sweet Angel's toys,
Where everyone's happy and free from life's pain,
There's no need to suffer and much love to gain,
I know you'll be happy in Heaven above,
With family around you and giving you love,
Please kiss the family and tell them from me
I miss them and love them and soon I will be
With you altogether, embraced with much love,
That day I'm called home, to God, above.
