My Little Boy...

oh, don't be surprise by the title of today's entry...i don't have a little boy, not yet...my dear friend delivered a stillborn baby boy last week...she was almost full term but unfortunately his little boy succumbed before he could open his eyes to see his wonderful parents...

i found this wonderful poem from a website, created by parents who delivered a stillborn baby as well... i dedicate this poem to my dear friend....i pray that you will always be strong and may Allah bless you always....

My Little Boy

For the little boy I'll never know,
Born too soon before he could grow,
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't give,
If only my little boy could somehow live,
But you were too precious for this world,
From Earth to Heaven, your place was filled,
I felt so warm, content inside,
My smile for you was hard to hide,
But now you're gone I sit and cry,
Why did my little boy have to die,
One day I know we'll meet again,
My heart will then be freed from pain,
But until that day does arrive,
In my heart you'll stay alive
