The day you passed away Aunt Stephanie wrote a poem using my words from past blog entries. I had her read it at your funeral. I'm sure you loved it.
Well my sweet son,
your Earth’s mission is through
You fought for each day,
we’re so proud of you.
Your body, so tiny.
Your spirit, so great.
On loan from Heaven 207 days.
And though we will miss you, tears will long fall,
It was a miracle we got to have you at all.
With dimples for days, and rubber band wrists,
You made sure Mommy got in every last kiss.
You smiled for your sisters,
Spent time in Daddy’s arms,
Memories to pull from when times are hard.
The light of your eyes drew countless in,
The faith of your family turned them to Him.
When you grew tired,
and it was your time to go,
Mommy and Daddy cuddled you home.
Blow us kisses from heaven, we’ll send you balloons
Loving you is our privilege, and He’ll carry us through.
With every prayer, every song, each day that will pass,
We love you, Caleb, to Heaven and back.
What a wonderful poem. And it was fun to finally meet the dark haired Leah. ;) You two are twins!!
