Tears come with the memories of you
The ones of you just learning to walk
The ones of you were you can barely talk
Memories keep me strong but yet make me weak,
As I watch you sleep
The memories of you laughing and dancing around hospital ward
The days when you were so brave and I was so weak
You hold the courage I do not keep
You see life with a smile even through the stuff
You have been put through
As you look up at me with those ocean blue eyes
I begin to cry....
You touch my cheek and say, "mommy alright?"
I just smile and rock you back to sleep
The memory I see is the one of me holding you close
and hearing that I will lose you so very soon
and you looking up to me and saying,"mommy I be alright"...
Look at you now your three
And you are mommy's angel

I realy enjoyed this poem, though it was kind of hard to read because of the font. But it was well worth the effort.

my son is 40, his children in their late teens (19 and 20) I still view them as babies in my heart. Wanting to tuck them in and keep them safe. There are just some things we cannot keep them safe from and our knees buckle under the strain. What a reminder this is. thank you for entering

Your love and courage is so honorable...it touches
my heart profoundly.
I lost my baby sister to SIDS...many years ago when I
was 10 years old. I always feel her love around me,
and I keep her picture on my fireplace mantle..if ever
I am discouraged I remember the impact she made upon
my life if only for 8 weeks.
much love and blessings to you!
I named my first born daughter after my sister,
and she is a truly great woman indeed...and
gifted me with the best valentines present ever...
my first grandson!
his picture is next to hers!

much love, much love.

This is beautifully sad and a wonderful
poem to your daughter. I am very sorry
that she is suffering from cancer. It's
a terrible disease to have and especially
at a very young age. I wish you and your
little girl all the best in life and hopes
that she overcomes this obstacle that holds
her down very soon! Take care and thank you
for sharing your story here with us all!

omg! i was like smiling through the whole thing! that was SO adorable!
-
wow
i'm in tears right now. this is such a touching poem. you kept the emotions real and your words just moved me so deep. i'm so sorry for your little girl. she sure does not deserve to have cancer at just the age of three. She had to go through so much, she deserves better. but at least she's got an awesome mommy. keep the faith alive, and stay strong. take care!
much love,
Ranji

A Tear-Jerker!
It gave me chills and made me cry! This is truly beautiful and inspirational. It's is something when those we love are sick and they are concerned for us! I am so happy to hear that she is doing well. She was right;
"and you looking up to me and saying,"mommy I be alright"..."
They are the closest to God; his little Angels. *crying*
Thank you for sharing this with me. I am honored!

This is so precious, of course I have tears in my eyes. Your baby's sickness is such a tough thing to live with, and children are so amazing at how resiliant they are. You have a blessing and I'll keep her in my prayers. Thank you for sharing this, good luck.
