Aidan Thomas

Not so very long ago,

I sat and wondered who you would be.

Not so very long ago,

I felt you kick and couldn't wait to have you here with me.

A short time ago,

I held you close and kissed your sweet face.

A short time ago,

I counted your toes and welcomed you to this place.

A short time ago,

I said hello and goodbye on the same day.

A short time ago,

My sweet boy you went to Heaven to play.

A short time ago,

My world shifted.

A short time ago,

Your name, Aidan Thomas was lifted.

Yesterday,

I cried for you and no one knew.

Yesterday,

The ones who thought of you were few.

Not so long ago,

They told me I was going to be a mom.

A short time ago,

I delivered you.

A short time ago,

I carried you home and said my final goodbye.

Yesterday,

I pretended to be ok and hid my tears.

Today,

I am your mom.

You are in heaven.

And I am missing you.
