For my baby boy

May 8th 2009
A day like any other day.
For anyone else that sentence would be truer then anything else.
But for me, that day was very meaningful.
Warren Lunar-Wyatt Mims was born.
He will always be in my heart.
No matter where he is or how far away we are from each other.
I did an open adoption which is what I thought was best for him.
He should live a loving and safe life.
I miss him everyday.
I will stay in his life as much as I can.

    a good piece of poetry penned, it must be a very difficult decision, to give up your child for adoption. i am sutre he will find smiles and love in life as time gathers him.

    Oh. This is so sad and personal. It was that amount of personal-ness that grabs the reader's heart and squeezes until it feels like it's the lungs being constricted. But you did a beautiful job with this. Best of luck in the contest.
    Write on.

    This is a beautiful and emotional poem. I can see how much this troubles you. I dated a woman for a while who had done the same thing. Part of it bothered her even though she knew deep in her heart that she had done the right thing. You made a very hard, very brave decision. Stay well.

    hi, your poem touched me. and as a mom, I feel your pain, I will not pretend to know exactly could have felt like, but I dont have to reach into my own heart to find that spot, that says, It hurts...........and these bonds are so strong, nothing but nothing can seperate us.................

    Wow... i can't imagine how hard that must have been. But Brava for being brave enough and strong enough to do for him what you thought was best. there are so many others who would be selfish and not give him that opprotunity. It is heartwrenching to hear about....But you did what you thought was best for him, and what is a mothers job, if not that? Brava, for the poem, and your decision, I wish you the best of luck in everything, and I wish only the best for your son. I hope you are able to be a part of his life.

    I am sure that was a very hard thing to do, letting another family take care of your precious little one, but you had to do what you thought was best...This one tugs at the reader's heart. Beautifully written...

    Blessed Be,
    Jeremy
