Poem Two for Lexi

I Miss You

By Sara Cooper

Hey it has been a while hasn't it?

I can still remember how much you glowed in the sunlight.

I can still remember the way you would giggle every time you were happy.

I can still remember the smile you had every time your mommy was around you.

I know that you are in a much better place now,

But I can still remember the days I would get home from school,

And your mommy would call me saying,

"Get this child to sleep!" .

I would hear you wailing and I would calmly get you to sleep.

I miss the days that we all spent with you, you sweet angel.

I miss the days that we all had together after you were born.

I guess I just miss you all together.

I guess you were brought into our lives at the time we needed you.

And you left just as quickly as you came.

I know it still hurts your mommy so badly.

Just like it hurts us all.

You truly were and still are an angel from Heaven,

A child so pure you just couldn't stay,

We all can never do anything but be happy that you came.

I miss you, my darling niece Lexi Danielle Billups....

And that will never change.

Poem for my niece Lexi

This is a poem that I wrote in honor of a very special angel. Hope that you all enjoy it as it was very difficult to write. Enjoy~

I Can Still Remember

By Sara Cooper

I can still remember the day you were born.

I can still remember the day I first heard your voice.

I can still remember the days I spent helping your mama get you to sleep.

I can still remember when I first saw your face.

It was in a picture your mama sent to me.

The way your face glowed in the sun.

The way your smile brightened up the room.

I can still remember the day that you went away.

I can still remember the pain your mama had to endure.

I can still remember the tears falling from our eyes.

I can still remember the pain that is still felt inside.

I can't help but wonder what would and could have been.

I still wonder why you were taken away from all of us so soon.

I guess that Heaven needed another angel.

I guess that it was just not meant for you to be here still.

Even though the pain never goes away,

Even though the hurt has never subsided even to this day,

You will always be remembered by the way you were loved by all of us.

And even though you had to leave so soon,

I just want you to know that no matter what.

 Your mama and aunt Sara will never be able to forget you.

And that we will see you again someday ....

Dedicated to: Alexi Danielle Billups

Gone but Never Forgotten

Welcome to Sara Cooper Poetry

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog. In this blog, I will be talking about poetry as well as sharing my own poems with everyone. I am new to this so please bear with me. I wanted to start off with a poem I wrote two years ago and it is in the point of view of an animal that was lost to any kind of abuse. So if you have kids that this might upset, please know that I mean no ill will. I watched an episode of Animal Cops: Houston and this poem came right after. Please enjoy and let me know what you all think of it.


A Single Cry For Help
by Sara Cooper

A single cry for help,
That is hard to flee.
A single cry for help,
That is enough for me.

A single cry for help,
Why can't you see?
A single cry for help,
Why couldn't you have saved me?

A single cry for help,
It makes the flowers cry,
As they wither and die,
Because of a single cry for help.

A single cry for help,
It can go unnoticed,
A single cry for help,
It could have been avoided.

A single cry for help,
It doesn't need to be.
A single cry for help,
Why'd it have to be me...?
