Michael Dan Snyder - The Death of an Infant - Poem

I use to write poems while I was in High School, that was 12 years ago. Even though these poems are old I would love to share them with you. This first poem is wrote about my big brother. He had passed away 11 days after he was born and of course I never met him.

Michael had a 3 chamber heart instead of a 4 chamber heart, there was not enough technology to detect or fix the problem.

When I talk to my mom about him, she said even when she was a little girl she had always known that she was going to lose her first child. She even told my dad this, while she was pregnant with Micheal. There is something to be said for a mothers intuition.

Michael Dan - Wrote By Candy Hicks



You will always be their first pride and joy

And I've heard that you were the sweetest little boy

The month that you were born opened a new door

Oh they couldn't have asked for anything more



Little Michael Dan is your name

From your father who has the same

And from your mother the life she gave to you

Michael Dan you was there dream come true


Such a small bundle of joy to hold and love

Little did they know that the Lord

Sent you down as an angel to watch from above



Mother and Father only had you a short time you see

Because the Lord called upon you and said

"Come Walk With Me"

It was unbearable the pain and sorrow

How could they face their every tomorrow



Slowly their days went on

When they realized that there would always be a bond

The bond between Father, Mother and Son

And of the memories when your life first began



They learned to laugh and smile

Thinking of you all the while

Even though you are not with them in every way

You are in their hearts everyday



You will always be their first pride and joy

Mom and Dads sweet little boy
