About the Poem

This poem was written for my son, Caleb Aaron who past away on July 9, 1997.

Silent Child

My silent child
our precious baby,
Close to my heart
I'll keep you with me.
An important job
God has for you,
There is love to give,
and work to do.

He needs an angel
strong but small,
To shine light on many
and give love to all.
Before you go
I give you this,
half my heart
and one last kiss.

We'll miss you dearly
that we know,
But by God you were
chosen,
So to heaven, you must go

My son was born on August 18, 2004 and died on August 19, 2004 which happens to be my birthday My son died because of the hospital i was at didnt have the equipment they needed for a 16 week early baby i was 24 weeks pregnat and went into labor and as much trauma the dr put him through he couldnt make it.
