Gone

Gone     By nannalee   © 2008 nannalee (All rights reserved)   Our souls unite in grief, no pretending here. Gone are the bright sunny days, only gray skies fill our days. We are trapped in our emotion, recalling his magical smile and listening for a voice that will never fill our searching ears. Crying in the darkness where no one hears. Nowhere will the one who brightened our days appear. Gone from this life our baby our son, he’s reborn in eternity to reflect God’s golden light. In the clear light of day, we know he’s in a better place, but when darkness falls filling our nights with silence and an empty crib; we grieve, holding each other as our tears dampen our pillows, praying for the night to end. Finally sleep comes and his smile and sweet voice fills up our dreams, recalling each moment of joy. We awake to a new dawn and for a split second all is right in our world and then our souls are engulfed in grief and we know he is gone. The endless grief envelops us completely. Will our heart ever feel joy again, we wonder. Then the sun burst forth with it glorious light and we know our baby awaits us on a distant shore. Author: Nancy Lee Shrader ,

Oh Nancy this is so beautifully done. My heart aches for you it really does my dear friend.
I feel a little of your pain in this write, but could never, ever know what you and your
family have to live with every day.

Nancy you are surving so beautifully, your baby would be SO proud of you and I can
just see him as a little cherub, spurring you on with each and everyone your wonderfully talented writes
and books!

"Then the sun burst forth with it glorious light and we know our baby awaits us on a distant shore."

Yes dear he does wait for you, hang on to that thought and tuck it safely in your heart".

Just beautiful Nancy, thank you for sharing your precious thoughts with us.

Big Hugs

"Tiny Angels
Tiny Angels rest your wings
sit with me for awhile.
How I long to hold your hand,
And see your tender smile.
Tiny Angel, look at me,
I want this image clear....
That I will forget your precious face
Is my biggest fear.
Tiny Angel can you tell me,
Why you have gone away?
You weren't here for very long....
Why is it, you couldn't stay?
Tiny Angel shook his head,
"These things I do not know....
But I do know that you love me,
And that I love you so".
