1. The Sod House On The Prairie
Famous Poem
A low sod house, a broad green prairie,
And stately ranks of bannered corn;—
'Twas there I took my dark-eyed Mary,
And there our darling boy was born.
Baby Death Poems
Poems for Infant Loss
Death of a loved one is always a cause for mourning. However, when a baby dies, there is a sadness that goes beyond normal grief. We are programmed to expect that the old outlive the young. When a person who has lived a full life passes away, there is a sense that everything is as it should be. When a baby passes, who has not even has the chance to experience life, his death seems meaningless. If he was meant to die so soon why did he even come into the world?
