I thought of you and closed my eyes
And prayed to God today.
I asked what makes a Mother
And I know I heard him say.
A Mother has a baby
This we know is true.
But God can you be a Mother
When your baby's not with you?
Yes, you can He replied
With confidence in His voice.
I give many women babies
When they leave is not their choice.
Some I send for a lifetime
And others for a day.
Benjamin was just so perfect
There was no need to stay.
I just don't understand this, God
I want my baby here.
He meant the world to all of us
And I really need him near.
I wish I could show you
What your child is doing today.
If you could see his beautiful smile
And with other children say
"We go to earth to learn our lessons
Of love and life and fear.
My Mommy loved me oh so much
I got to come back here.
I feel so lucky to have a Mom
Who has so much love for me.
I learned my lesson very quickly
My Mommy set me free.
I miss my Mommy oh so much
But I visit her each day.
When she goes to sleep
On her pillow is where I lay.
I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek
And whisper in her ear.
Mommy don't be sad today
I'm your baby and I'm here.
"So you see my dear sweet one
Your baby is okay.
Your little Benjamin is here in My home
And this is where he'll stay.
He'll wait for you in heaven
Until your lesson is through.
And on the day that you come home
He'll be here waiting for you.
Oh the joy you two will have
As you embrace and hug so tight.
You'll never be apart again
And all will be alright.
So now you see what makes a Mother
It's the feeling in your heart.
It's the love you've had so much of
Right from the very start.

That is so touching-thank you for sharing that. I'll always think of his little smile.
You do not know me, I found you off of Stephanie Waite's blog and I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am for your loss! This picture pulls at my heart because it made me think of my little boy, it would pain me beyond what I can imagine to lose him. Prayers and love to you and your family.
