    A Poem for Reid

    Tonight, completely out of character, I wrote a poem for Reid. I haven't a creative bone in my body but once I started, the rest just flowed. Here it is:


    One November day
    There was a little boy
    Who came into my world
    In an early but precious way

    I saw your beautiful face
    Upon it was a smile
    My heart I heard it break
    So I held you for a while

    I whispered in your ear
    Son, I love you so
    I touched your little fingers
    And stroked your little toes

    Then came in your big Sisters
    Who held you in their arms
    Cradling their Baby Brother
    You left footprints on their Hearts

    The rock that is your Daddy
    His heart I saw it bleed
    For his tiny little mate
    Had forever gone to sleep

    In our hearts you planted
    A row of tiny seed
    That grew flowers in remembrance
    Of you our little man, Reid.
