A piece of my Heart

A Piece of my Heart

I thought my heart would burst
when my beautiful babies were born.
Two healthy, identical sons delivered
on that glorious, November morn.

I called them Thomas and James
like the tank engines on T.V.
Then later my four older children appeared
for their brothers they wanted to see.

Our outings were always a family affair
with the siblings close by my side.
With coo's and comments from passers by
my heart just swelled with pride.

Then one fateful day in the spring.
My heart was broken, but why?
Because God had chosen to take one son
to his kingdom in the sky.

A piece of my heart went with him that day
on his journey to realms above.
For though years have passed, he's in our thoughts
and we send him all our love.
