Many years have gone by now,
I miss you oh so much
words just cant describe the pain
and the memories mean so much.
You touched so many hearts
before you even came
that God decided to take you home
and an angel you became.
Your precious little face
and dimpled little hands
these features I created
with the help of Gods own hands.
I'll never be far from you
Mommy will always be right here
I think of all these memories
as I shed a tear.
I know you're always with me
our souls connect as one
I feel you here beside me
my precious firstborn son.
I Love you now
and always will
NEVER will we part
even though you live in Heaven
Your home is in my heart.

When I read things like I feel at a complete loss. I've experienced a lot in my life, but this is not one of them.
Its a very moving and beautiful piece. -
Having lost my own son to a heart defect aged 6 months, it is not hard to imagine the pain that went into writing this piece... my heart is with yours..
Thank you for taking the time to enter your favourite prewrite in this contest, I wish you the very best of luck

In this line:
"I know your always with me"
It should be "you're" instead of "your".
Again, this is just such a sad write. I really love how you ended it. It's just so sad! -
