Baby Boy Lost

Lying in tiny casket

blue velvet overalls

long black eyelashes

resting on plump cheeks.

Soft dark curls framing

cherub face so young.

Baby boy Saul was lost

in the blink of an eye.

Chased after ducklings

into the murky water.

Mournful cries of Grandfather

searching for the child

sobbing as his heart broke

permeated the neighborhood.

And now 3 year old child

lies in his silk bed

cushioned with our love

waiting for the angels

to take him home.
