Cameron's Poems
Angel Wings
A precious angel slipped away, no one heard a cry.
No time for Daddy and Mommy to sing me lullabies.
My time with you was much too short, I had to leave too soon.
But love had joined us as I grew inside my Mommy's womb.
It wove its way within our hearts, in all our hopes and dreams.
Until the very purest love, became my tiny wings.
Although I could not stay with you, I knew right from the start.
That once you felt your angel's love you'd keep me in your hearts.
I'm just a little angel but my time was not undone.
As dark clouds that surround you give way unto the sun.
My precious parents you will see that any heart will sing.
If only for a moment it is brushed with angel's wings.

A Mother's Love
I didn't have to look into your eyes
to fall in love with you.
I didn't have to hear you cry
To know you loved me too.
I didn't need to hold your hand
To cherish you always
Within my womb,we shared our hearts.
You touched my soul.
You sweetened my spirit.
You gave me memories I'll always hold dear.
Yes my heart aches since you departed so soon.
But a mother's love does not end with death.
For you are my child
Forever my love is yours.

REMEMBERING
Go ahead and mention my child
The one that died, you know.
Don't worry about hurting me further.
The depth of my pain doesn't show.
Don't worry about making me cry.
I'm already crying inside.
Help me to heal by releasing
The tears that I try to hide.
I'm hurt when you just keep silent
Pretending it doesn't exist.
I'd rather you'd mention my child
Knowing that he has been missed.
You ask me how I'm doing
I say "Pretty good" or "Fine."
But healing is something on-going
I feel it will take a lifetime.

My Son
Lord, help me not to focus
On his death, but on his life.
All the moments that we had him
Not the struggles and the strife.
He was a gift and not a "right."
You owe us nothing, Lord.
We thank You for the joy he brought
This sweet little boy we adored.
~Elizabeth Dent~
My Prayer
To every storm the rainbow lends its promise,
For every cloud, the sun still shines behind,
For every sob, there's healing in each teardrop,
In my loss, sweet memories fill my mind.
God, You let this sorrow fill my life--
Pain like I've never felt before.
Pour Your healing balm into my heart,
This be my prayer forevermore.
~Elizabeth Dent~
Saying Goodbye
You are my sun, you are my star
Even though wer'e miles apart
I'll always wish you were here with me
But, I have to let go and set you free
I will not see you for a long, long while
But, every picture will make me smile
You wern't ment to stay with me
In God's hands I trust you to be
Till I can be with you again
You will always be my shining gem
It is now time for me to say goodbye
You'll love your wings, and you will fly

~Cameron's Mommy~
Does it rain on you too?
Sometimes I see things I should't,
but never saw this one coming,
Once was mine was now taken away,
Oh, what a messed up day.
Could you imagine the world around you crumble?
Well, I can.
Have you ever felt your heart explode?
I have.
Have you ever felt something so pure in your arms?
I have.
Can you thik of your worse day?
Mine is when my angel died.
Why be mad they say.
Have they felt what i feel everyday?
Do you know why it is so hard to say goodbye?
I do, No goodbye is good.
Do you ever stare up in the air waiting for something to see?
Can you feel and see what i do and still go on?
I can...in time some day some way
I will.... I hope
Does it only rain on good people like me?
So many questions, so little answers
Why does it only rain on me???
Can you see me?
Does anyone see me?
See me cry inside.
Can you feel my loss?
Or just stare at me 'cross
Can you feel my wife's tears at night?
Can you see me try to fight the same tears?
Do you understand what I think?
I think i was tanked...
I lost my special baby.
Well, maybe,I'll see him again
When the day is done,And i have won my pass.
I will see him again
Till then Cameron, Daddy loves you
From Daddy
From me to you
I hope all of your dreams
Would have came true
But they didnt
All our lives stopped
Why did you have to go?
I did not even get to teach
You to throw.....
As I write this to you
All my hopes are through
I'll never know you the way I want
Or have a chance to taunt
Or show you the way of life
Or see you have a beautiful wife
Can I say I love you when your not here
Well, guess what, I'll say it when i get there
Cameron Daddy loves you more than any one could know,
not because you were my son but, because you were mine and I love you.
Never forget your loved ones, they are watching us all.
The Anniversary
Let me be sad today,
Give me this day to mourn.
It's the date my little son died,
And also the date he was born.
Let me think back to his birth;
The fear of viewing him, dead,
Memories of holding him close,
And cradling his little head.
Allow me to visit his grave,
To let a few balloons go,
To place flowers lovingly,
And trim the grass that does grow.
Allow me tears to cry,
Love fills my heart to the brim
Spilling it on those close by,
While always longing for him.
~Elizabeth Dent~
Think Before You Speak
Dear Friend, today you broke my heart,
In a place that was unbroken.
You did it with your thoughtless words
That should not have been spoken.
You know that I am grieving;
That my pain is deep and real.
Your hurtful words pierced like a knife.
How do you think I feel?
You may not suffer from my loss
Or share this lonely grief;
But I'm mourning my baby,
Who's life was much too brief.
I'm sure you don't know how I feel,
I don't expect you to.
Don't ask me to get over it....
That's something I can't do.
Without grief, there's no healing.
It's a journey I must make.
It's not the path that I would choose,
But one I'm forced to take.
No matter how you choose to see
What I am going through,
I need compassion and support....
I'd do the same for you.
