You came into our lives on that fateful day.
Then all at once you were taken away.
A child so innocent and so small.
Doctors said barely had a chance at all.
You are gone and it's hard to comprehend.
It will take time and God for our heart's to mend.
Although we know your in a better place now.
It's so hard to get by when your not around.
Your our angel now, no matter where we may be.
Our little man, flying so free.
Watching over us protecting us from worldly sin.
Keeping us safe until we meet again.
Were down here waiting for our call home.
When we walk through the gates, we'll see how you've grown.
Until the day that God needs us too.
We'll keep you in our hearts. WE LOVE YOU!

I am incredibly sorry for you loss. When children are taken from us it seems there are no answers to the painful questions, why? You are obviously very strong and have an enormous amount of support from family and friends and that is a good thing.
