Finleys Poem
Created by Jill 11 years ago
Dear God
I know I don't pray to you as often as I should
But I need you to help me, please, if you would
Will you please give a message to my little angel Finley?
I know this is a big thing I ask of you,
Oh! Tell him the message is from his Daddy too!
My beautiful son, there's so much I need to say
Things I didn't get to tell you on that cold sad day
Son, your Daddy and I love you
Even though you are not here
In our hearts we will always hold you dear
I know we're not supposed to ask God why,
But I ask God constantly, why you had to die
We don't always feel it
But God has helped your Dad and me,
There's some things he has brought to our attention,
Some things he wanted us to see,
I have always heard things happen for a reason,
That it happens in its own due season
Something good always comes out of something bad
So here are some reasons to help me from being so sad,
You were took from us on that cold march day
But heaven is your home forever to stay
We will never get to see you walk,
Or as a little man grow,
But sickness or pain you will never know
Tears I will never get to wipe from your eyes
When this makes me sad, I will just look to the sky
I will always wonder what color your eyes would have been
Then I think, they never saw sin
Heaven or Hell, you didn't have to choose
For that reason you did not lose
I know your with Jesus
For this I can grin
Because you didn't have a choice
You couldn't help but win
Son, I do have some memories of you
Even though they are few,
But these memories are going to help me make it through
Like you moving inside me
That I am thankful I got to feel,
It's these memories that are going to help me heal
Finley, I just wanted to tell you that I love you
And goodbye I will not say,
Because goodbyes are forever, and I will be with you again someday,
So until then, continue to laugh and play
Your Daddy and I love you and that's all I need to say
God, there is one more thing you can give my son
That I did not get to give,
God will you please give this to him?
Tell him it's from Mommy,
That it's my special kiss
