From the Lips of a Grieving Mother &&
Poem dedicated to the most important human being on this earth. Poem dedicated to my pride and joy, to my peace and beauty, to my life and love. Poem dedicated to my son, Enzo.
Why doesn't anyone understand?
Why doesn't anyone want to help?
All I need is a helping hand,
Which nobody wants to lend.
Everyone thinks I'm still the same,
The pain and the anger get the best of me.
But no one realizes that all that remains is my name.
People keep saying, "it just had to be."
What people think of my pain goes in one ear and out the other.
They've never experience the death of a child.
All I'd ever wanted to be was Enzo's mother!
Instead, what I got was this tragic ride in the wild.
So many questions: "why Enzo, why me?"
My head keeps spinning round and round.
There are just no reasonable answers, so I just have to let it be.
Enzo is the love I had never found.
My heart hurts, my tears have spoken,
My life will never be the same.
My smile is broken.
Without him, I am in so much pain! All I have is his picture in a frame.
He is gone, but not forever,
I always see him next to me, handsome as ever!
He sends me signs,
His spirit will always be embedded in mine.
His scent has forever taken over my soul.
We love you, forever and ever until the end of the world!

Enzo's Strength <3
Dedicated to my son, Enzo.
Enzo, you are the goodness within me, the beauty around me, the love beside me, the beating heart in me, and the angel above me.
You are what calms me, what encourages me, what strengthens me, and what empowers me.
You are who loves me, who guides me, who listens to me, who teaches me, and who accompanies me.
You showed us the way,
With how you wanted to stay.
You showed us strength,
With how you fought 'till the end.
You will always live in our hearts,
You will live within us and never part.
We miss you, baby. More than ever,
We love you beyond words could ever compare.
I have your memories engraved in my soul,
Forever and ever, until the end of the world.
We thank you, Enzo... eternally,
And we will see you very soon, finally!
We promise you, that you will never be forgotten, ever!
And we will scream out to the world of your bravery, forever!
You are as pure as the water in the bay,
Mami loves you for forever and a day!

From Enzo, To Mami*
Dearest Mami,
I know how hard it is to keep a tender heart in this harsh world without me. But I need you to be the light in the darkness, the one who will not give in to negativity. As your only love, I ask you to keep your eyes on Me so I can give you My view of the world around you. When you feel sad or hurt or angry, come to Me. Don’t allow yourself to let your emotions prevent you from seeing My achievements, My strength, and My love. Ask Me to give you new sight to see the world through My eyes. And you will become the Mami you long to be… a reflection of Me to friends and family!
Love,
Enzo

Pain -
A poem dedicated to the bravest, most beautiful baby boy ever: Enzo.
My body aches, my soul hurts, my tears burn, my heart longs… longs for my child.
The pain is unbearable, the tears are unstoppable, the longing is insupportable, his face… unforgettable.
Enzo’s petite body was soft, his hands were small, his smile glowed, and his heart loved.
His will to live was admirable, his strength was unreal, his bravery exemplary.
He taught me what love really means, how life should be lived, how pain really feels.
Love doesn’t begin to describe what I feel, for there are no words to express a mother’s love for her child.
Pain doesn’t even begin to describe what I feel, for there are no words to depict the tragedy of losing a child.
Sadness, pain, love, happiness… tragedy, doom, treasure, cherish.
Enzo showed me strength. Strength to live.
Enzo demonstrated courage. A courage we should all follow.
Enzo gave love. Love to life and family.
Enzo presented me with the best moments of my life. Moments I will treasure forever.
Enzo is my baby. My beautiful baby.
