To Matthew Jr. Poem by Shannon Middleton

I really love you Matthew Jr.
I wish you were born a little sooner
Then and only then you'd be alive today
Who knows God may have taken you anyway!
Sometimes I just sit and cry
God took you anyway and no one knows why?
I can sit all day and go through his things
Remembering all the feelings it brings
All I wanted was him to AWAKE from his sleep
To cry his heart out or just hear a peep
Not even a cry nor a peep
Because my son would never awake from his
SLEEP.......
