GOD BYE MY LOVELY SON! HOPING TO SEE YOU AGAIN ON THE OTHER SIDE. 6 WEEKS OF JOY WAS THE BEST 6 WEEKS OF MY LIFE. YOU MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO FEEL LIKE A DAD, YOU STIMULATED THE SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY IN ME AND I WILL BE FOREVER GRATEFUL. I MISS YOU SO MUCH SWEETHEART. CONTINUE TO REST WELL.

A onetime hit and unforeseen is this quick crack a father some time ago in a sour flash back oh where are life’s sentinels standing against death’s colonels? comforting hands, convert it not to a fair sack.

Very nicely done. Makes the heart feel sad to read about an innocent soul. I lost 2 in a row in miscarriage. And also thought I'd lose the third. .umbilical cord was around his neck 6 months. I'm pretty sure you read my Robert Lee poem. Life throws us a curve doesn't it . Anyways good write :)

I am so very sorry, I don't know what to say, so I better stay silent and just tell you you are in my thoughts...

First I would like to convey my condolences to you at the loss of your child. I could not imagine it but in a very short poem you expressed your deepest feelings may your heart be assuaged by the joyful memory of that short time of love and blessings.

Dear Funom. I will not touch this entry. Please allow me to let your words and thoughts stand. I turned to this entry not knowing what I would read. This is an emotional write for certain that there are no words for its power and message. I am sorry for the loss of your beautiful angel.

There is perhaps nothing so sad, so tragic in fact, as the sudden death of an infant, not to mention son, as this short poem captures here. Where are the sentinels indeed. John
