Her skin as soft as silk
As she breathes in life’s hope
Breaking the nine month tradition
She carries the love of her mother
A white light surrounds her tiny body
As her grandmother sees her through life
A precious gift is what this little angel is
As she unites two souls together as one
She is an angel baby
Of hope and of love
She is an angel baby
Brought from above
Her smile warms the lives of several
As her tiny hands touch our souls
Breathing the life of a loved one passed
As she enters this world from above
Her life guided by that of another
Taking on life’s precious journey
She is a survivor like her mother
Giving us hope when all seems lost
She is Evanna Sophia Hope
Her name shines like the heavens
Bringing a smile to a lost face
She is Eva, life’s little angel baby
Author notes
This is written for a dear friend of mine. She gave birth to little Evanna on August 26th. Eva as we call her was born premature at only 27 weeks gestation, and was born weighing only 2lbs 6oz. She is doing ok, but has her ups and downs which is expected. Her mother had a brain bleed which caused her to give birth so early, and 2 days after giving birth had to have brain surgery. Please keep them in your thoughts!

Little Eve will soon be three years old
I hope she's done well, and her mamma, too. Eve was born on my birthday 
You've written a lovely poem in her honor, Jenn. I know she'll treasure this when she gets older

Sorry had to skip to the begining. Adult poetry wouldn't allow me to skip it or comment. Anyways! WOW! Very speachless. This is an awsome piece of work. It makes me feel like I'd imagine mothers feel when they have their baby. Thae one look that gives you the unconditional love that guides them through their lives. Good job. I'm glad I came across your poetry!

This reads like a lyric. Like a glorious song of praise echoing towards the heavens.
I should think that your friend liked it. -
Awwwww, it is always so scary when babies come too soon. It is a miracle that they can be saved now, at such a small size. Twenty years ago, a baby that small wouldn't have had much of a chance. I will pray for both of them.

How touching , and yet also miraculous what modern medicine can accomplish nowadays. I will most certainly keep your friend and the new little angel in my thoughts and heart. This is a very nice gesture of yours , and the poem is great

Beautiful
Awwww this poem is truely beautiful, i loved it, even thought its not the kind of poem i usually enjoy, i know exactly how you feel when you see someone as an angel, because some people in this world are truely angelic, even if they dont see it themselves. The use of vocab was perfect for the piece, it was really emotiontial. Technically, the poem is not brilliant, but poetry isn't about structure, or stanzas or any of that crap in my opinion, its about depicting and conveying deep emotions to others through use of carefully selected vocabulary, which in this poem, you have done brilliantly, i love it, and i hate people who write comments like the one above, they really suck, anywho, have some veryb deserved applause, Danny xxx -
Awww this really touched my heart. it's so sweet. keep up the good job.
-
Nice poem. You really brought out true emotions.
-
great poem. print and frame it. It should be that which both mother and daughter can look upon and age as the pages wrinkle with them.....
loved the piece.
