I just lost my first born a little boy. My husband and I have on other childern he was our first. I am having a hard time copping, but when I read poems about babies and heaven it reminds me that he is in a better place. Thank you for your poem.

I have a sister-in-law that lost a baby boy 1 hour after he was born. That would be one year ago today, February 8,2006. We all got together and put together a scrap book and I needed a poem to put on my page and this one was perfect, absolutely perfect. Thank you so much from someone who couldn't quite find the words to express the way they felt.

My son was born three months premature as a result of an assault, he weighed 1lb 6oz. on 9-13-2005. He was doing good and coming home soon and on November 12, 2005 i got a call from the NICU saying his heartrate was dropping. When I got to the hospital they unhooked his tubes for me to hold him. I had to sit there and watch my son die in my arms. There was nothing the doctors could do. I cried bc i felt that i had failed as a mother and as his protector. This poem makes me look at this situation as my son is safe and he is now watching over me, everyday.

a beautifully written poem! i lost my little boy to sids just this year and i love reading poems about a parents feelings, just to know that i am not alone.

Kelly, Thank you for your poem, Silent Child. We just lost our precious grandson on Friday. My daughter was 8 months pregnant and his was a stillbirth. He was their first child. Their grief is so raw. Your poem is comforting. Anita

WOW, that was beautiful. I lost my baby cousin on 12*5*04. She was born still born and we used this poem in part of her eulogy. It is a perfect way to express all of the emotions that we feel right now.

The little boy i used to babysit (K. C.) drowned in a poolon September 22, 2004. I miss him as much as anyone could miss anything. I would do anything to bring him back.

My 17 month old neice was murdered by her mother and when i read this poem it really makes me feel better. but sometimes i wonder how people can seem so happy about it.

My 13 year old daughter passed away on December 6, 2002. I had this poem read at her funeral as it seemed to mirror my very thoughts and feelings that I was not able to express myself. Thank you Kelly for the lovely poem.
