Description

Many people may remember the photo that potrimpo posted of his great-nephew, little Troy. Sadly, on April 3rd, 2005, Troy lost the fight and passed away. This poem, "One Little Soul", came to me when I heard the sad news. It's meant to be a tribute of sorts to a tiny life that fought so hard against almost impossible odds, and lost. I hope that, in some small way, it may bring a little bit of comfort, not just to Troy's family, but also to every parent who had a child born too soon and died too soon. Thanks goes to leanmac for helping me fine-tune this poem, for without his cheerful imput, there would be a vastly different poem here. To little Troy, rest in peace. You fought the fight, now rest the rest. To Troy's family, a candle was lit that night for all of you.

This is so heartfelt and beautiful to me because a friend of mine lost her baby during delivery today...these precious little lives that are taken so soon, but mean so much to so many...I think your poem is a great comfort. My prayers go out to little Troy and his family...peace be upon them all.

I remember the photo and had the little guy in my prayers. Having had a 9 week early one 20 years ago, I knew what they were going through. Such a sweet poem to honor him. Thank you for sharing it.

What a beautiful poem. I have to admit I got a little teary eyed reading it. So sorry for your loss potrimpo.
