[hometext] => This has never happened to me but my heart goes out to everyone with a similar story.
[bodytext] => The snow falls in gentle lazy circles Painting my world The snow crunches beneath my feet And the wind nips at my nose Home is in the distance Smoke pours from the chimney As I draw nearer I see a tree in the window Decorated in silver and blue Lights twinkling merrily I can’t wait to get home It will be my son’s first Christmas tomorrow He loves the lights Loves the music But he’s such a happy baby I’m finally home “Where’s Aidan?” I ask my wife “In his bed, sleeping. Please don’t wake him, he just stopped crying” She replied from the kitchen “I won’t” I promise, knowing I will He’s too beautiful to leave there I tiptoe up the steps Determined not to wake him this time I open his door I can see him laying there ‘When did he learn to roll over?’ I wonder Seeing him on his stomach I cross the room SOMETHINGS WRONG His face is buried in his little pillow He’s not breathing I pick him up He doesn’t wake I breathe into his little mouth “CALL 911” I yell to my wife Breathe Please breathe I blow in again He’s so cold He’s not moving I breathe into him again Willing him to live I rush down stairs Holding him gently Praying that my wife can fix him She was always better with him She’ll make him live She sees his lifeless body and starts crying An ambulance siren is heard in the distance Why is it taking so long? Paramedics rush in I’m still trying to breathe life into him They take him from me They pronounce him dead at 6:57 pm The lights twinkle on a blue and silver tree Reflecting off an ornament that says “Baby’s first Christmas” [comments] => 2 [counter] => 183 [topic] => 32 [informant] => true [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
