This is a poem that I wrote for Landon over these last couple of days.

Daddy's Wish

I close my eyes and I see your face

I dream of feeling your warm embrace

I find comfort in feeling your head against my chest

I smile as I smell your warm sweet breath

You wrap your hand around my finger and let out a quiet coo

I kiss your forehead softly and whisper, I love you

I open my eyes expecting to see you laying next to me

But I know in my heart that this is not to be

It was eight weeks and a day after you were born

That the Lord decided to call you home

And though it was hard to watch you leave

I know that heaven is a better place for you to be

Still, I wish you could have stayed

I'd give anything for just one more day

To see your eyes and your handsome face

To feel the warmth of your embrace

To lay your head against my chest

And once again smell your sweet breath

To watch your hand wrap around my finger and listen to your quiet coo

To kiss your forehead one last time and whisper I love you.

I love you Landon. Daddy misses you.
