Elijah

For I have given you this name - a name which means Angel of Innocence - as it is that for which you are.  It is said that Elijah is the guardian of new babies and those who pass away early.  How fitting for you - my sweet little one.

For You

Two blue lines turn into a cross
Meaning promise and new life
Oh how I felt you at that moment
In my heart, in my soul.

A little flutter, a heartbeat she says
It's there - we could see
You entwined yourself even more
In our lives at that very moment.

The tenderness, the sensitivity
All signs of this life growing inside of me
The dreams that fill my mind
Of the family of 4 - soon to be 5.

The morning light shines through
The color red stains my eyes
Knowing its time to say goodbye
As you grow your wings and fly.

Someday, little one, I will hold your hand in mine
I will kiss your sweet little head and smell your innocence
I will hold you tightly and tell you how much you are loved
Someday, we will meet again. 

~ Love,
Mommy  xo
