A Christmas Poem for Simon

I wanted to share this poem that my mother wrote on Christmas Eve night.  She shared it with us on Christmas.  It's beautiful, thoughtful and catches so many of our emotions not only on that day, but about the situation in general.  Christmas was a great day, but hard as well, knowing it was the only one we would spend with Simon.  I'll update more and post more pictures (I promise!) this week.  We had a great time and a lot of great memories were made.

A Christmas Poem for Simon and Family

To my unborn grandson Simon, still in his mother's womb

Your family's anxious to meet you as we gather in a room

The day of your arrival should be coming oh so soon

Please Lord give us time with baby Simon, before you take him home too soon

We want to share our love with him and give him hugs and kisses too

And cradle him close to our hearts and sing a lullaby or two

Simon, once you get to Heaven you will meet some friends and family members

So say hello to your cousin Brianna, and tell her she is so loved and remembered

To my grandson Simon, still in his mother's womb

Please know our love for you will forever, forever loom!

Love,

Grandma
