Dear God, please help me, I can’t do this alone
My heart breaks anew with each Christmas song
The holidays last year were such a magical time
For a new grand daughter was soon to be mine
I had fun looking at the little baby clothes
I couldn’t resist, had to buy some of those
Wrapped them up pretty, placed under the tree
To be opened by my daughter, the mommy to be
Now here it is the Christmas season once again
Trying to get our broken hearts to fit in
A snowman ornament hangs on our tree
Holding a small picture of our baby Chloe
On her tiny grave, in the vase on her headstone
A white Christmas tree, looks small and alone
It’s hurts to think that you took our baby away
I know my questions will be answered one day
Dying from SIDS at just five weeks old
Leaving our arms so empty and cold
So in Jesus’ sweet name I ask of thee
Please ease this hurt for my family

Awe I'm so sorry that you've had to experience that. It must be hard. I would certainly say only just 5 weeks of paradise in your arms. That must be really hard. I wish you the best of cheers in your family. I wish you luck in the contest.

she walks with Jesus and he loves her so much. shes happy shes walking now and shes laughing. shes walking with him in his garden and his going slow and watching over her holding her hand. they are walking round the path and so happy. she is loved so much in heaven and here on earth. shes at peace and all she knows is love and happiness. i know its really hard but she would want you to celebrate her life on earth and the time you had with her and think about the good things like when she was born. cause shes really not gone. shes just in a different place and is surrounded in pure true love. you will see her again one day when its time and you will be together again forever. she knows you love her so much and i know it hurts so bad but try and think of her smiling and happy cause she is and when you see her again it will all be ok again. i love you huggggggggggs you tight.

SIDS is one of the saddest things that can happen to new parents. It's like God just decided to change his mind or something. I'm sure there was a reason God did this, and my heart goes out to you and your family who are hurting this year. I'm sorry that this happened to you.

Pouring your heart out in poetic prayer is a blessing from the Lord, at least for me. This is a powerfully painful prayer, that I know God will hear. Thank you for sharing it in the contest.
