In Memory of my nephew Carson.

Carson Lee Armes

March 24th, 2009- May 30th, 2009

Today marks the one year anniversary of when my nephew Carson passed away. I wrote this poem late last night.

I was there the day you were born, my little Carson Lee.

I took your first pictures and held you tight, my heart was full of glee.

Such a beautiful and precious baby, a bundling gift from God.

So happy and content you were, and everyone was awed.

We knew you were amazing, you melted all our hearts.

We never could imagine we would ever be apart.

I remember when I heard the news, I fell to the ground and cried,

I couldn't even fathom someone so young had died.

You blessed us with your presence for exactly 76 days,

You blessed us with your presence in so many different ways.

We still can not believe you're gone, not even after a year,

and as I write this and think of you I can feel a lonely tear.

We hope you're looking down on us our angel from above.

We can still feel you all around, and hope you feel our love.

Please know how much we love you, and miss you every day.

Look down on us from heaven and listen as we pray.

We may never know why, you were taken from us here,

But we find comfort in knowing you're with our Lord up there.
