Baby Carson

Memorial day is a day to honor fallen veterans who have died fighting for our country. Some people including myself and my family would spend Memorial day placing flowers on graves of deceased family members and honoring their memories. Two years ago my family had a terrible loss. My nephew Carson passed away after just being with us here on earth for 76 days. I think about him often, especially on holidays. Today marks the 2 year anniversary of Carson's passing and being that it is also Memorial day,  I would like to honor and remember baby Carson with this post followed by a poem (revised) I wrote last year.

 

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 two years,
and as I write this and think of you I wipe away the tears.

 

 

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.

 

 

Your Auntie Shell loves and misses you very much Carson.
