The Fight

They fought for space inside of me
And then they fought to breathe
We fought to keep them here with us
But instead they had to leave
Now we fight the lump in our throat
From fighting back the tears
And still we have to fight the ones
Who took away their years
I've learned a lot about fighting
Since God doesn't make mistakes
I'm sure He fights with himself
Over which angels He takes
We knew from the second we saw them
As tiny babes in my womb
That our little boys would be fighters
From their birth `til in their tomb
We were surprised – to say the least
That their time went by so fast
The only time we held our angels
Was for moments when they passed
We fight with ourselves everyday
The urge to buy baby things
But our boys are wearing what NO ONE sells
Our boys are wearing Angel Wings

That poem just sums up exactly what you have been through and how you are feeling.  I can even relate to it a bit myself about fighting the ones who took away their years.  I was really angry with the hospital Adam was born in as they made a lot of mistakes. 

I also know that I get a lot of comfort knowing that Adam is in heaven.  I have had my angry moments with God, but it is something I am at peace with, iykwim.

Thanks for sharing it with us.
