Where to start?

Well, I guess I should just dive right in.

But Marshall wasn't meant for this world, too beautiful was he.
So, an empty womb and a full heart are the gifts he left to me,
and all I could give him was my love, some kisses, and affection.

His urn sits on a shelf; his ashes proudly displayed.
His sisters still want to buy him clothes and shoes so he can walk;
what they don't understand is that he has wings instead of feet.

I don't know how to help them; I am as helpless as a lamb,
but my shepherd will guide me through it if by his side I stand.
My son's eyes were open; it was His face he saw first.
He must have marvelled when he heard his name called by the First.

I have to accept it; my heart struggles with this thought,
that my body just wasn't good enough for his gentle little heart.
