Baby Naomi

Tiny hands that hold a lifetime,
Connect your heart to mine
Tiny fingers trace the lifelines,
Of two souls that intertwined

Tiny nose and tiny eyes,
On a tiny little face
Reminders of your beauty,
Quickly gone, without a trace

Tiny kicks and tiny wiggles
Stopped in the silence of just one breathe

As our tiny, beautiful angel Naomi
Was caressed and kissed by death

Tiny life stopped in one heartbeat,
You passed through all our lives, hearts and souls
You became a part of all our lives

Your tiny whispers and tiny words
Never to be heard
But your echoes live forever
In our hearts, in our souls

We can shed tears because she is gone
Or we can smile because she has lived.

We can close our eyes and pray that she'll come back
Or we can open our eyes and see all that she's left us

Our heart can be empty because we can't see her
Or we can be filled with the love Naomi brought us

We can remember her and only that she's gone
Or we can cherish her memory and let it live on, forever & always

We can try and close our mind, be empty and sad inside
Or we can do what Baby Naomi would want us to do,
Smile, laugh, open our eyes and live our lives to the fullest without
Regret and make sure everyday her mommy has a smile on her beautiful face.

So now it's time for her to spread her wings and fly up into the gates of heaven.
And as she does, I think all she needs is for us to let her go.
But let her leave not by seeing us with tears in our eyes
But simply rather a shinning smile on our faces.
So let us smile knowing that Baby Naomi is smiling down on us.

We all love you, Your Mommy loves you, and I love you
In loving memory of our precious and beautiful little angel – Naomi
