Ten tiny fingers,
Ten tiny toes,
Strong shoulders just like daddy's,
And the cutest button nose.
In short you were perfect,
Not one single flaw,
But your eyes, they were sleeping,
And will forever more.
We held you in our arms that day,
And felt so honoured to,
We've held the smallest angel,
And Lewis that was you.
I've shed a million tears for you,
My little ray of joy,
Born to me in stillness,
You looked just like a toy.
Your little doll-like features,
Your tiny rosebud mouth,
The only thing that was missing,
Was that my toy made no sound.
The silence it was deafening,
And your eyes they did not see,
But I held you tight within my arms,
Daddy was there with me.
I try and cope the best I can,
But I still miss you so much,
If only I could see you
And once more feel you're touch.
A little flower sent from Heaven,
Too perfect here to bloom,
So God took you home again,
Albeit far too soon.
Lewis my little angel,
With wings as light as snow,
We're so glad we got to meet you,
Before God took you home.
You're missed but not forgotten,
Mummy needs you still,
Look after me from Heaven,
I know you always will.
I have a very special place,
Deep inside my heart,
I'll hold you there forever,
So we'll never be apart.
You've just walked on ahead of me,
Don't worry I'll be fine,
But now and then I swear I feel,
Your hand slip into mine.

you not only made me cry but bawl. This was extremely well written. I have asked that no one rhyme unless it is done amazingly and you are the first entrant to break the rule and make it amazing. Best of luck, and thank you for sharing.
