HEAVEN ON EARTH: NAMES ON THE SIDEWALK

NAMES ON THE SIDEWALK

I found this blog while reading another blog similar to mine. Or well, one that is about a family who lost a child as well. It struck my fancy and I emailed the author to please write Waylon's name for me like she has so many other angels. This is what she sent me.....

Thank you sooooo much Tiffany!! This means so much to me. I don't know what it is about seeing his name written out, but I LOVE IT!! Her blog's address is http://namesonthesidewalk.blogspot.com/ I am looking into other ways to have his name written as well. There are several other blogs whose authors do things like this, but some of them are so overwhelmed with angel name requests that they had to take a break for a bit. I totally understand. I will post more of them as I receive word back.

WAYLON'S POEM

My Angel Baby Waylon

I knew I loved you right from the start,

The first time I saw your beating heart.

I cherished feeling you every day,

Kicking and squirming your time away.

No one would have guessed, the news that we would bear,

Your life had been taken, so sudden, so unfair.

I never got to see your bright blue eyes,

Or feel your warmth, or hear your cries.

All I have are dreams of you,

Those of which, will never come true.

My heart broke the day that I knew,

Your daddy and I would never meet you.

I had made plans, had dreams and such,

If only I’d known I was dreaming too much.

I never thought that heaven would take you away from me so soon.

But, I'll never forget that dismal day,

so sacred and so true.

Somehow I knew something was not right,

And through many tears I would have to fight.

A day filled with love and happiness,

Yet so much grief and pain.

I seemed to cry for hours, at the mere thought of your

honorable name.

Now, all I do is dream at night,

about life with you, and what that would be like.

What if you had been born alive?

All we can do is grieve and strive,

To remember you every single day,

Hold on to our memories in every single way.

We can ask how and why so much,

we never got to feel your touch.

And all we can do is face the fact,

There were reasons unknown, and that’s that.

Because we know you're where you need to be,

Even though it isn't here with me.

You are my angel baby, because God picked you.

Now, forever with his angels,

He’ll take good care it’s true.

You left this earth too soon I know,

But I will see you in rainbows, in birds and snow.

My love for you is unconditional and strong,

And I’ll meet you in heaven,

even though it seems like so long.

My angel baby you will always be,

In my heart forever, eternally a part of me.

-J.S.

In memory and honor of my angel, my son,
