A piece of me went missing and part of my soul would die;
A section of my heart was gone in the blink of an eye.
For gone was my happiness and gone was my son;
Many tears I cried that day and yet the tears still run.
But my God had a plan, He'd never let me be;
My son who went to heaven sent an angel back to me.
My best friend had a son, a little gift from above;
This tiny man now in my life, I couldn’t help but love.
Gods given me a second chance, a way for me to cope;
This little angel now in my life returned to me my hope.
And though I thought my chances gone, his master plan you see;
This little gift in human form, his dad I will be.

An angel indeed, and he just happens to favor you very much
I don't know if you've noticed in the picture, the background appears to give him little wispy angel wings. This is a beautiful write, your rhythm and rhyme makes for an even more heartwarming, enjoyable read. Breathtakingly beautiful!...Eddie is blessed to have you in his life, and likewise
Sincerely,
Sassy

People seem to think me and him look alike but the similarities end with the hair style and color of our eyes. And no I hadn't noticed that before.

Also, such a gorgeous little baby Eddie!!

Yes he is.

Absolutely beautiful, heartfelt, sincere & so very touching. Your words moved me, and I felt the deep emotion of losing a baby, it must have been tragic, I am so sorry for your loss.. But I am happy for God has given you a second chance to be a father...
I loved this poem, it made me cry..
& realize that there is always light at the end of the tunnel, even if you're in darkness for what seems like forever..
A treasure to read, Thanks for entering & best of luck

A really beautiful poem telling us a little more about your life. They say all things that happen, happen for a purpose, maybe this is one of those times because it means Eddie has you in his life and that's just what you both need.
Thanks for sharing...Sue
