Christmas In Heaven Poem by Jody L. Moody

I hear a baby cry,
At night when I sleep,
Wakened in a panic state,
Just to lay there and weep.

I close my eyes to blink the tears,
As I vision your precious little face,
Now I can't fall back to sleep,
And your image I cannot erase.

Sometimes I wake up screaming,
As my dreams replay your death,
And sometimes I wake up crying,
For your life I wasn't blessed.

It's late and the sun is coming up,
It's time to face Christmas day,
Without you, my sweet baby boy,
Makes it hard to say hello to today.

Sometimes I close my eyes,
Simply just to see you again,
Your little body so perfect and new,
It's impossible to bare the pain.

You get to spend Christmas in heaven,
As I spend it here thinking of you,
So I hope God wraps you up,
And tells you how much I love you.
