Never Apart


The world knew you for only minutes of time

I knew you from inside, the feeling was sublime.

I covered you and kept you warm,

I loved you through the thick and thin of it.

There will never be a regret,

I thank God for in a short time at least we met.

Your gentle feet and soft skin I feel upon me,

The thought of you nearby sets my tears free.

I'm free to feel the loss of you,

and free to feel the life you knew.

If I could have just one more minute,

I'd gladly accept you two within it.

I'd rock you just a little longer,

and somehow this would make me stronger.

Strong enough to breathe a little more without you.

Strong enough to love as though I were not blue.

You,

the thought of you,

The two of you,

dancing around in Heaven's expanse,

The thought gives me a chance...

to hope a little more

dream a little more

live a little more.

More to love.

More to live.

More to embrace.

I loved you with all that I had 

and all that I am,

but God loves you more than I can.

He loves you so much that He took you to be with Him.

Too perfect to love here on Earth.

I remember the gentle feet and sweet little fingers,

I remember the eyes closed shut and the warmth of your skin.

I remember you joined together at one heart,

loving each other and never being apart.

Loving each other when we were to depart.

Loving each other from the very start.

I will always have you within me, 

a memory that will never be erased from memory.

Dance on my little boys.

Dance on from joy to joy.

Dance on as though no hurt exists, 

Dance on and continue to persist.

For God does bring a burst of light,

to carry Mami and Papi through the night.

We will not be sad forevermore,

We will rise from ashes and stand in grace,

until we see His face, and meet again with sweet embrace. 


To: Ethan & Nathan Canela

From: Mama Bear

My baby angels gone too soon...I will always love you.

Change

The leaves are falling  The birds are singing Everything is the same, but it's different. The wind is blowing autumn's silent song I feel the return of feelings I have held onto for so long. Falling  Crashing Swaying Life feels the same, but it's different. Change is evident in the shifting hues Orange Red Yellow Fading into snow. Seasons come, Seasons go. Everything stays the same, but it's different. The streets clear into the night, Everyone sleeps. The morning's glow is a potent light. Bright, as the day covers the ground, Everything around it stays the same it looks the same but it is different. You have forever changed me. You have forever awakened me in a way nothing else has. I want to feel the same but it is different. I want to look the same but I am different. I want to speak the same but the words are different. What once was, will never be. The transition crashes into me, bringing waves of uncertainty. Questions awaken in me. Frustrations soar out of my

Image of God

When Ethan and Nathan were born and I saw their little faces, I lit up with joy. Joy because they were alive. Joy because their warmth brought me comfort. Joy to be beside my husband, holding them nestled between our arms. Utter joy. What many do not know is that aside from my boys being conjoined, my Nathan also had a cleft lip. I have heard many people speak displeasingly of this deformity of the lip, but when I looked at Nathan, I felt joy and I saw beauty. I would even go as far as to say that the cleft gave him a little character. There was obviously no need for surgery because of his demise, but in my eyes he was perfect. He was made in the image of God. His Creator knit him perfectly for me. I know it sounds paradoxical because they were conjoined (an obvious developmental abnormality) and Nathan had a cleft (a facial abnormality), but all the same they were God's children and made in His image.  I remember every little thing about the beauty of each of them.
