Tanner Michael





I wait patiently for you every Summer.
Your beauty fills my backyard and my heart.
All who enter sense your presence with us.
I'm no longer afraid to speak of you, 
because you have stolen a piece of me forever.




My heart smiles as your sprouts come back every Spring
Grow taller, greener, buds emerging
You come back in places that you were never planted, 
but I don't mind
Your beauty reminds me that you are the child of my dreams now
not my biggest nightmare


I picture your face and can't wait til I meet you in the air one day.
Sandy brown hair with golden flecks of blonde, just like your sisters and brother
Strong baby-boy-man with the strength of your Daddy


Because of you, I get to tell daily HIS Story of complete love and grace towards me and your Daddy.  You are always part of me because you are part of God's Hand of grace extended to me.



I love you Tanner Michael
I honor your memory through the Black Eyed Susan
instead of trying to forget you ever existed
Mommy loves you
I'll see you soon
