Perched upon a misty cloud of the purest white
This little angel held her bear with much delight
Then putting him down she played a note
Through all of heaven the melody would float
Smiling at the thought of what today would bring
She brushed back an unruly curl, pausing to sing
Holding her bottle of milk in one tiny hand
A baby girl yes, but she still understands
It was on this holy day that her savior was born
A glorious feeling to be here on Christmas morn
Helping Jesus to celebrate his birthday this year
So happy, though she knew her family shed tears
Celebrations on earth would be carried out as well
Her mama and papa reliving memories, would dwell
Peeking over the edge of her silver lined cloud
She saw a sight so pretty, she giggled out loud
Christmas trees adorned with gold and silver bells
Each branch giving off such a warm and inviting smell
A chubby and friendly snowman was standing guard
Watching the bunnies and squirrels frolic in the yard
Time to stop spying and take her place in heavens choir
Singing for Jesus’ birthday now was her one true desire
Lovingly holding hands for no one here is a stranger
Angels lifted their voices to sing “Away in a Manger”
Holding a note, she touched hearts in a special way
Making her family feel just a little bit better today
Though they missed her sorely, more so everyday
They knew she was home with Jesus and doing okay
The baby angel knew they would all join her in time
When they left this world and earthly worries behind
With her singing finished, now tucked in for the night
She sent some sweet kisses for her mommies delight
Along with a prayer that she would have beautiful dreams
Of her daughter flying around with her tiny perfect wings

in memory of my grand daughter
Chloe Lane Utterback
2/22/08 to 3/28/08
I went shopping today and everything seemed to remind me of Chloe and how much I miss her. When I saw this contest my first reaction was to write something pertaining to her being happy in heaven.
picture was found on Google search and the picture on the BG is of Chloe Lane.

So beautiful and so emotional, so sad yet full of hope and the belief that your Chloe is in a wonderful place where the real meaning of Christmas is everything. How can a piece such as this be judged as a poem? It is beyond judgement, it is your heart written down. Sheila

what a sweet poem. It is both touching and sad. The presentation is beautiful as well. when my baby died I hated the few memories I had and now I yearn for them. I guess I hated them because they made the tears flow ... thank you for entering

Touches The Heart
It does help to write about your sadness. The holidays are the hardest for me too. Losing my son last year was the saddest time in my life. Like you I got through with my faith in God. I am so sorry for yours and your families loss. My prayers are with you this holiday season. Bless you.
Peace and Grace,
Sandy

As a new mother myself I can only imagine how difficult this past year has been. You have created such a lovely, happy place, and I know that it will give you all some measure of comfort. Chloe will always remain the beautiful baby inthis picture and will always occupy a special place in all your hearts. Peace, Liz

Just Adorable
Wow this is just unending with beauty. I so adored this poem you wrote. It had so much meaning and it is so uplifting and precious. She portrays what Christmas is all about. What a delight to have been able to read this precious poem. It is truly etched in my memory. The imagery, rhyme, rhythm and flow are just beautiful. Little baby Chloe up there is Heaven with my Matt. Matthew loved little babies and wanted one of his own. She is adorable. Best wishes in the contest. Wishing you and your family a Happy Holiday as well even though I know it will be hard too. This poem is just a blessing to everyone this Holiday, so thank you for sharing your gift to write such precious poetry.
Wishing You Many Blessings
Much Love

Thank you so very much! You have no idea what this darling poem means to me. I am stepping out of my judges box for just a minute, This especially touched me because I lost a baby to miscarriage a few years ago. I just know it was a girl.
I have a son who is 6 and we are expecting a new baby in April, it too is a girl. That is why it touches me so deeply.
Back on my judges box:
Thank you so very much for entering. Good luck in the contest.
