Arms wide open

I wrote this for the contest 'can you wright a powerfull poem' i believe it is very emotional and i myself had a very hard time wrighting it.

Once in light I held you tight
Love and hope was our life

Tiny eye's and hands alike

A small little bundle of pure delight



Smile's and coo's

It was all about you

My love so full

nothing could ever make me blue



Then you turned two

I was told to say goodbye to you

You were not meant for this life

That sickness has taken flight



As i sit beside this bed

Holding your hand untill you are dead

Pure and utter loss

Fill all my conscious thought



I cannot imagine this life ahead



No more hugs from this small soft frame

No more little wet kisses on my skin over and over agian

No more laughter from my tickles

No more "mommy, i love you this much"

With arms wide open



The pain it it grows like a fire

Consuming me whole

Taking all desire



Desire to hope,Desire to love

Desire to carry on



One last glimspe at a twinkle in your eye

Then your hand fell limp in mine

With one last breath

I lost all hope

I lost all love

I lost all living for life



Now i wait

Wait for you

Someday i know

I know i will hold you

I know i will hear

I will hear your beautifull little voice

Whisper those words again in my ear



The one thing i never lost

Never forgot

Held dear in my heart with just a glimmer of light



Those words from your lips

That i so long to hear

Mommy,' I love you this much' with arms wide open

If I may suggest, your title is only-Arms wide open- though your poem always includes the with. Maybe you should change the title? Very emotional, and quite saddening as my family can also relate to the loss of a child...
