With An Angel On My Shoulder: Friday Funny: Amazing Summer

The Poem That Inspired My Subtitle

A Song for Daniel, Stillborn
by Jean Felice Eilbert (his mother)

When I held you in my arms that day
Born so still, born anyway
How was I to know to say goodbye?
No one knew just what to do
Except tell me I'd get over you
As if forgetting makes it all untrue -- a lie

But I remember to remember
I can't forget just to forget
Your memories are a part of me
Connecting me to what comes next.

And even after all this while
I think of you, sometimes I smile
Memories of my unknown child, fade slow.
I've held you in my heart each day
Life so short, life anyway
Memories are meant to say hello.

Joc(e) said...: I think I would need a Venn diagram, you know, where there is more than one circle and where they intersect both things are true...so "Amazing Things" and "Internet" could happen at the same time...lol!; July 14, 2012
