The Empty Man By: Corey King
The day you left me my heart left with you.
A father who lost his son before he even knew.
You were taken away to heaven before we ever met.
My body aches with the thought of it yet.
No one knows or cares how I hurt. My cries are not heard.
People around me think I love you less then some. I know I love you more then anyone.
For you are my son, the one I’ve waited for so long.
I wish you were here so I could help you along.
So many things I looked forward to, now gone.
But who am I to feel down and out. I didn’t carry you or feel you move about.
I would only lay awake almost every night before you left.
Feeling you move and dreaming about the rest.
I feel so alone, no one cares to understand.
How a man could hurt so bad, without his son in his hands.
We both know how much you mean to me.
I just want to be with you now. Alone and care free.
I love you my son from my skin to my bones.
I still pray that you will come home.
I know you will watch over your mother and me.
This is not how it was supposed to be.
My angel in heaven, until need be.
My son, my strength, for your mother and me.

--Micah's Daddy (Corey King)

It was the summer, July 1, 2007,
The worst month you could ever imagine.
It was a day that I lost a big part of me,
It wasn’t an organ, it wasn’t an extremity.

Most people think that when they are pregnant,
That it will be an ending in which is contented.
I carried my son for an entire forty weeks,
We counted down the days and started to believe.

We thought about our world and how it would be,
Wondering what he looked like, we couldn’t wait to see.
We were ready and waiting for our son to arrive,
We had no idea that when he got here, he wouldn’t be alive.

Our baby, Micah Corrin King was so perfect in every way,
Ten fingers, ten toes, who knew what to say.
His beautiful body lay quiet and still,
He looked just like a perfect, sleeping angel.

His skin so soft, yet so cold,
I wanted to bundle him up and take him home.
Instead, we had to leave him there.
Why did this happen? It just wasn’t fair.

We know he is looking down on his family.
I wonder where he is and what he sees.
If only I could hold him again, just once.
Now we just count away the months.

I love you Micah, my beautiful son.
Your Daddy and I are heartbroken.
Your little life was exceptionally short.
Next time we meet, I won’t ever let you go.

My Son
Lord, help me not to focus
On his death, but on his life.
All the moments that we had him
Not the struggles and the strife.
He was a gift and not a "right."
You owe us nothing, Lord.
We thank you for the joy he brought
This sweet little boy we adored.

A million times we'll miss you,
a million times we'll cry.
If loving could have saved you,
you never would have died.
In life we love you dearly,
In death we love you too.
In our hearts there is an empty place,
no one could fill but you.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
but you never went alone.
for part of us went with you,
when God took you home.
His garden must be pretty,
he only wants the best.
He put his loving arms around you
and said: "My child, come home to rest".

Daddy
Daddy don’t cry for me
I’m right here
Don’t you see.
The way you walk
The way you smile
It all portrays,
What I would be

Daddy don’t cry for me
I’m right here
Don’t you see.
Look in the mirror
Isn’t that me
Blonde hair
Blue eyes
That’s what you gave to me

Daddy don’t cry for me
I’m happy here
No pain
No sorrow
I’ll watch over you
With every tomorrow

Daddy please,
Don’t be blue
For I will always
Be a part of you
--Andrea Lobdell

An Angel Never Dies
Don’t let them say I wasn’t born,
That something stopped my heart
I felt each tender squeeze you gave,
I’ve loved you from the start.

Although my body you can’t hold
It doesn’t mean I’m gone
This world was worthy, not of me
God chose that I move on.

I know the pain that drowns your soul,
What you are forced to face
You have my word, I’ll fill your arms,
Someday we will embrace.

You’ll hear that it was meant to be,
God doesn’t make mistakes
But that wont soften your worst blow,
Or make your heart not ache.

I’m watching over all you do,
Another child you’ll bear
Believe me when I say to you,
That I am always there.

There will come a time, I promise you,
When you will hold my hand,
Stroke my face and kiss my lips
And then you’ll understand.

Although I’ve never breathed your air,
Or gazed into your eyes
That doesn’t mean I never was,
An Angel never dies.

(song makes us think of Micah)
"Slipped Away"
Song by artist : AVRIL LAVIGNE

Na na, na na na, na na
I miss you, miss you so bad
I don't forget you, oh it's so sad
I hope you can hear me
I remember it clearly

The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same
Ooooh

Na na na na na na na

I didn't get around to kiss you
Goodbye on the hand
I wish that I could see you again
I know that I can't

Oooooh
I hope you can hear me cause I remember it clearly

The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same
Ooooh

I had my wake up
Won't you wake up
I keep asking why
And I can't take it
It wasn't fake
It happened, you passed by

Now you are gone, now you are gone
There you go, there you go
Somewhere I can't bring you back
Now you are gone, now you are gone
There you go, there you go,
Somewhere your not coming back

The day you slipped away
Was the day i found it won't be the same noo..
The day you slipped away
Was the day that i found it won't be the same oooh...

Na na, na na na, na na
I miss you

My Beautiful Nephew
Although you're not here with us,
It doesn't mean you're gone.
I feel you here with us,
Even though you have moved on.

Words cannot describe the pain we feel,
Living each day without our little man.
Time will slowly ease the pain,
Until we meet again.

There's not a moment that goes by that you're not on my mind,
Thinking about what life should've been with you by my side.

There are so many things I wanted to teach you,
All the things I'll never get to do.
I spend each day wishing,
I could spend my life with you.

It isn't fair you were taken away,
Such an innocent little boy.
The love we share for you is endless,
A love noone can destroy.

I wish I could hold you one more time,
And see your little smile.
But until we meet again,
The wait will be worth all the while.

I love you.
Always and Forever.
My beautiful nephew,Micah Corrin King.<3
