Matthew's GoodBye
"Melanie Lynn"
November 2002
Hello Mommy, its me Matthew…
I came to watch you sleep…
I noticed you are crying….
Even in your dreams you weep…
Mommy, I know your heart is aching…
And you feel so empty inside….
I want you to know its not your fault…
I know you really tried…
Although you can not feel me….
And hold me in your embrace…
I am still here Mommy….
I always leave sweet kisses on your face…
While I was with you….
Although the time was brief…
I never meant to make you cry…
And suffer so much grief…
I loved the time we shared…
In your womb is where I layed…
I know you wanted more…
I know your dreams have begun to fade…
I’m so glad God gave you me.….
You would have been great…
Mommy, remember, you still are my Mother.…
In the arms of Jesus Is where I wait…
While I was on earth
Your voice was loving and sweet…
I heard the beating of your heart…
Tummy to hand is where we would meet…
You promised to give me the world…
And Mommy, you gave me your all.…
Now its my turn Mommy…
I promise to catch you when you fall….
My wings are wrapped around you…
Keeping you warm at night…
I’ll hold on to you forever…
Never leave you out of my sight….
While you were My earth Angel…
Giving me all your love…
Now I am your Angel Mommy…
Keeping you safe from Above…
Its ok to cry Mommy…
Its ok to scream…
Because I am here with you…
Yes Mommy, that’s me in your dreams…
I love you Mommy...
Please don’t think of this as Goodbye…
I will be back, I promise…
I am your Angel Standing By…
In Loving Memory of my dear son Matthew James born to heaven on August 27th, 2002. Mommy Loves you!
Comments: This poem is written as if Matthew were speaking to me. While writing this poem, the words came to me so freely that I do believe these are the words of Matthew speaking through my heart.
