I Was So Blessed

I Was So Blessed          David my beautiful son     I was so blessed to have you in my life The good times have erased the pain and strife In those three short years you blessed me With sunshine, rainbows and unclouded days with glee Your smile always lit up a room And enhanced a flower’s sweet perfume Your smile was brighter than the sun at high noon Flashing with the colors of a summer afternoon Like the colors of the rainbow When the sun resumes its glow After a cool spring rain Your sweet smile erased my pain Cloudless skies followed your smiling face Laughed each time in a tickle embrace You even had smiles when the storm clouds blew in I can still see your mischievous grin As cancer weakened and devoured your life force You taught your parents to stay the course I still see the sparkle in your eyes of brown Your silky dark hair now adorned with a crown Now you’re and angel lighting the way For your mom and dad to the glorious day God sent you to earth to show us His heart And express God’s love, you did impart One day we will be together, mom, dad and son Wearing angel wings when life’s battle is won Yes blessed I was with heaven's angel in my midst God sent you to me, so I would know I'd been kissed Lord, I know you are listening, please pass this along Let David know that I have remained strong He’ll see me again, when the Midnight Cry is heard I have kept the faith and believed in Your Word         November 15, 2008  Third place   Nancy Lee Shrader- I Was So Blesse d   Author: Nancy Lee Shrader By nannalee   © 2008 nannalee (All rights reserved)

Wonderful.
I like the fact that the poem holds no trace of desperation, and that you express affection for your child as if he would be alive.
