This is for the lyrics challenge. It was a little difficult emotionally for me to compose . . . I thought it would be easier after nearly 3 years. September of 2003 I had a miscarriage at 16 wks. I scanned in some of my momentos here: the sky blue baby blanket and the white booties and hat were given to me in a remembrance box by the hospital, the little angel bear was sent to me by a support group, and my mother in law knit the multicolored booties. I wrote the poem and the announcement, although the announcement was never sent out. It just helped me to come to terms with things during a very difficult period of my life.

Lyrics: Godspeed, little man
sweet dreams, little man
oh my love will fly to you
each night on angels wings
Godspeed, sweet dreams
from Dixie Chicks "Godspeed (Sweet Dreams)"

Poem: A life, though briefly,
still remembered, still loved deeply.
Dreams and hopes have turned to wishes,
now that you're no longer with us.
No words of mine can express
the loss inside, the emptiness.
I think about what won't be true,
I'll never have a life with you.
And still I pray and hope for strength,
and I ask God to keep you safe.
For one day in another place,
I pray I'll look upon your face.
And I will hold you, my child lost,
but not forgotten from my thoughts.
Until once more we are together,
go with God, child.
You are remembered.

In loving memory of Corbett Michael and his sibling angel

The announcement reads: It is with great sorrow we announce the loss of our baby son and brother, Corbett Michael, lost September, 2003. From the womb to heaven, he joins his sibling angel, lost April. 2002. We hope you'll join us in acknowledging their life and our sadness at their passing.
