Guardian Angel
By: Jamie Manis

Seven months you grew inside me,
Seemed more like a year.
We watched you fight to live your life,
You were so sweet, so dear.

We all had plans and told you,
Each and every one.
Your life held so much promise,
Of the joy and love to come.

Your Granddads could not wait,
To toss a ball with you.
And Grandma would not miss a chance,
To spoil you through and through.

Daddy had the fishing poles,
Ready by the dock.
Those catfish were waiting,
The tackle box, unlocked.

My plans were to just hold you,
And watch you grow each day.
To bandage knees and dry your tears,
And calm you of your fears.

These days we had to dream on,
These days that were too short.
You had a place in heaven,
And many places in our hearts.

It's hard to leave our dreams behind,
In the dark and lonely night.
But now you're always with us,
The Guardian Angel of our Hearts.
