Mommy's Last Goodbye

A Poem by beautifulblade

You were Mommy's little angel,
but I guess you're God's too.
He wanted an angel with Him,
but why did He choose you?
Oh sweetheart Mommy loves you.
I promise to never forget,
your perfect five year old voice
when we sang our "Elmo duets."
Baby, Mommy misses you,
I feel like part of me is gone-
the part of me that wants to laugh,
but instead feels so withdrawn.
I should have seen it coming,
but I looked over far too late.
My worst nightmare coming true,
too real for my mind to create.

The tires were squealing
my baby was screaming,
and the ball you were chasing was rolling away.

I held you in my arms
my tears mixing with yours,
trying to convince myself that it would be okay.

I stayed by your side
for days at a time,
your life quickly slipping away.

The monitors screamed
and your Mommy grieved,
refusing to look where you lay.

Sunshine, Mommy aches for you.
My heart was shattered when you died.
I'd do anything to bring you back,
but I can't, so I'm saying goodbye.
The world is cruel and full of hate,
you were so full of love.
The mornings come more slowly now,
empty of signs from above.

I can barely live without you, baby.
This is my final goodbye.
Baby, I love you.
Baby, goodbye.
