Endless Mommy Love
by Leanna
A mommy’s love is endless
It reaches out of bounds.
I’d like to think it soars up to
The angels in the clouds.
Our baby boy is way up there
Watching over us.
I hope he knows his mommy’s love
Although we cannot touch.
I held you in my arms that day
And watched you as you slept.
I longed to hear your perfect cry,
I held you and I wept.
I cried because we would not share,
So many memories.
I cried because you had to go
And fly with angel wings.
I miss your body
Your heart, your soul
Growing inside of me
I miss your life within my life
I miss what we used to be.
Why couldn’t we bring you home that day,
Everything was done.
Now your crib sits empty,
Your teddy bears alone.
Our family feels incomplete,
Because you are not here.
We ache for our sweet Nicholas,
Please tell me that you’re near.
I pray for peace every day
And deep inside I know,
That love has a way of healing us,
That our love will only grow.

about the poem.
In Leanna's words, "Endless Mommy Love was written only a few short weeks after losing Nicholas, in January of 2009. Writing is an escape for me as well as a healer. This was written while I was clouded with intense grief and yet, it depicts so many of the raw, heart-wrenching moments of that time."
about the poet.
Leanna describes herself as a "wife, a daughter, a sister, a friend, but most of all, I am a mother to four beautiful children. Three walk beside me in life and one shines down from Heaven, never ceasing to guide our way." Leanna writes about her journey at Nicholas' Touch. She also creates Angel Wings at Angel Wings Memorial Boutique.

Nicholas' Touch, Leanna
Nicholas’ Touch
by Leanna
Your soul, it touched my heart today,
Like it has many times before.
It feels so real, just like you’re here
I ache to feel it more.
Your time with us was much too short
But an impact you have made.
Our lives have changed, our views have too
Our memories won’t fade.
You were given to us for a reason too deep
For anyone to understand.
I believe you came into our lives
So we could forever feel your hand.
Sometimes I cry because we lost you
And other times I smile.
Because I know deep in my heart
You’re with us all the while.
I’ll always remember your smell, your touch
Those kicks that made me squirm.
You were so strong and brave my boy
Those feelings again, I yearn.
We forever have an Angel now,
Someone to watch over us.
I guess that makes us the lucky ones
In that I have to trust.
My comfort is that you went without pain
And although I miss you so.
My heart, my life is full of love
For our boy we had to let go.
They say things happen as they should
“Life works out for the best”.
I don’t believe that “they” were forced
To face the ultimate test.
Losing a child at any stage
Tests a mommy’s soul.
The pain, it reaches much too deep
It doesn’t leave her whole.
For part of me went with you,
And part of me will stay.
To be a mommy to your brother’s
There is no other way.
I hold them both much closer now,
For you have taught me how.
To see life as a special gift,
That we should live within the now.
I love you buddy
So much it hurts
And that love will continue to grow.
I must believe that there will be one day
We’ll meet again and know…
Your soul, it touched my heart today,
That I know for sure.
I cherish those times we come so close,
For my heart begins to soar.
Please know, my love
You will always be
Engrained in all we do.
You touched our lives like a precious gift,
That precious gift is you.
