A Poem for Little Charlie
By Patti Jo MacGregor 
 
Six months have
come and gone.
Our love for you
no less.
Than the morning
you were born.
Than the morning
we said goodbye.

Our lives continue
as they must.
We will never be
quite the same.
We miss you so.
We remember, joy mixed with
sorrow. Your tender movements
within me.

You lived but
three days.
Not nearly enough
But, oh! The 1ives
you touched.
Be assured you will not
be forgotten.
We will not allow it.

You will live in our hearts Forever.
