Poems for my angel and family!

MY MOMMY IS A SURVIVOR
My Mommy is a survivor, or so I've heard it said.
But I hear her crying at night when all others are in bed.
I watch her lay awake at night and go to hold her hand.
She doesn't know I'm with her to help her understand.
But like the sands on the beach that never wash away.
I watch over my surviving mommy, who thinks of me each day.
She wears a smile for others, a smile of disguise.
But through Heaven's door I see tears flowing from her eyes.
My mommy tries to cope with death to keep my memory alive.
But anyone who knows her knows it is her way to survive.
As I watch over my surviving mom, through Heaven's open door.
I try to tell her that angels protect me forever more.
But I know that doesn't help her or ease the burden she bears.
So if you get a chance, go visit her, and show her that you care.
For no matter what she says, no matter what she feels.
My surviving mom has a broken heart that time won't ever heal.

To Mommy, Love Angel:
I once was going to be born and this I couldn't wait,
I knew that everyone was expecting me, I would try not to be late.
But I really wasn't sure what was on the other side,I tried to accept what was happening but I knew I couldn't hide.
I couldn't help but wonder who my parents were to be,I knew for sure that no matter what, they would always love me.
So I thought about it for a while, but I knew I had to leave, I went on to another place, it is so beautiful it's hard to believe.
I had a job to do, but it wasn't here on earth,I am so sorry you had to miss it, the day of my birth.
I wanted so bad to stay and be at home with you,
But I knew that there was something up here that I had to do.
I am now a Guardian Angel and I hope that you are proud,
I watch over you and Daddy, I peek down through the clouds.
I hope you know how much I love you, and how hard it was to goI miss you so much everyday, but I am sure you already know.
So please don't ever forget me, as I will do the same,
You know this wasn't your fault, there is no one to blame.
God needed me to be by his side and to take good care of you,
So there is no need to be sad now and no need to be blue.
If you ever get lonely, just look up at the sky, Like if you had a thought of me or just needed to say hi.
I am so happy with the way things are even though it may not seem,
I talk to you in the night time, I touch you when you dream.
I want to see the same for you, give a smile for me today,
Because I know that we will meet again in some other sort of way.
I will be up here waiting for you, to open the gates real wide
And help you to come home to Heaven, to take a step inside.
I thank you for loving me so much, please believe that this is true,
And there is no one I could ever love more Mommy, as much as I love you.

He Lost A Baby Too ~
It must be very difficult
To be a man in grief,
Since "men don't cry" and "men are strong"
No tears can bring relief.
It must be very difficult
To stand up to the test
And field the calls and visitors
So she can get some rest.
They always ask if she's alright
And what she's going through.
But seldom take his hand and ask,
"My friend, but how are you?"
He hears her crying in the night
And thinks his heart will break.
He dries her tears and comforts her,
But "stays strong" for her sake.
It must be very difficult
To start each day anew
And try to be so very brave
– He lost his baby too.
