Dear Mommy and Daddy
Danyettia Crawford 1985 (United States)
Dear Mommy and Daddy
I know this may seem hard to believe and a lot you don’t understand
I know that you will miss me and the touch from my little hands
I saw someone great and He said “come follow me”
He took me to a place and mommy and daddy I just didn’t want to leave
I know your hearts are hurting and the pain feels so deep
But I love you both so much especially how much the both of you loved me
I know that you miss me and our time seem so short
But the greatest gift I got from you was being apart of your hearts
Dear Mommy and Daddy
I see the tears you cry just knowing I’m not there
But please don’t be sad, my love is with you everywhere
Mommy remember when I tickled your tummy and you couldn’t believe it was me
Daddy remember when you held me for the first time and how you gazed in awe of me
Remember the fun times and the times I made you smile
Remember when you hugged me tightly and all I wanted to do was run around
Mommy and Daddy
I know it seems I’m so far away
but please smile and know I get to play all day
This pain you feel because I’m not there
Can make life seem so unfair
Dear Mommy and Daddy
I am in a place of peace and when you feel a gentle breeze just know that’s me
I miss and love you all so much remember the warmth from my tiny little touch
Mommy and daddy I’ll save a spot for you
I just wanted you both to know my last words are
I Love You!
Your Baby
About this poem
This poem is about parents losing their child. No one can ever prepare for this type of pain but believing that they are in a much better place is less of a burden to bare
