Born to Be an Angel

Three years ago today
We learned of your passing-
Our sweet baby-to-be
Gone from this earth,
To life everlasting

Born to be an angel,
On golden wings-
You took flight.
Soaring freely
Through the sky
Up to the heavens-
Up to the light.

Your life-
A beautiful gift
One of hope
And of promise
Your passing-
A humbling reminder
Of all the blessings
Still upon us.

This life-
Is so precious,
So fragile-
So salty sweet

Filled with moments
That clench our hearts
Steal our breath
Make us weep.
Rendering us helpless-
And unable to speak ...

And of moments
Filled with magic,
Pure joy,
Love and light.
Sweet memories
And reverie
To help carry us through
Our darkest nights.

Life is a gift,
I will celebrate today-
In loving memory
Of our Dason
Born an angel
On this day.
