My angel was born sleeping at 39 weeks on May 18, 1991. Yesterday was his 18th angel day.
Eighteen years ago today, May 18, 1991
I went to the hospital to give birth to you my son
The nurses put me in bed and began to run a test
Then the doctor called and said you would not come home
but instead you would be laid to rest.
Family and friends came to the hospital to help us through
Yet nothing anyone said or did could ease the pain of loosing you.
Six hours of labor and you were finally here
I held you close, kissed your beatiful face and whispered in your ear.
I told I loved you, I needed you, and squeezed you with all my might.
I told myself this is the way it is, just know you'll see him again, it will be alright
A few hours together and a baptism of you
Then tears and screams asking God what did I do.
What did I do that was so bad that he had to take you from me
I needed you in my life, without you I am not complete, couldn't he see
Suddenly a funeral to plan instead of a baby to raise
I walked around in a miserable daze
And now here we are eighteen years having gone by
The pain has not eased, for you I still cry.
When people ask about my children I always say I have three
Two on earth and one angel that flies beside me.
Today you turn 18 and should have entered into manhood
If you were here we would be celebrating like we should.
Instead I will take flowers to your resting place
And to sing happy birthday to you as the tears stream down my face.
One day I will get to hold you, sing to you and bring you joy
Until them just know I miss you and I LOVE YOU, Happy Birthday baby boy!
