Safe Surrender Called Naomi Poem by Quoth TheRaven

Safe Surrender Called Naomi



I'm so sorry to leave you dear, hard to say good bye to one so new,
The nine months and few hours in my arms held, are far as I can go.
Your fireman guardian angel will protect and find a home for you.

I must let go tiny fingers born in pain of child birth as you withdrew,
And sure my brown eyed girl will find a family with love to grow.
I'm so sorry to leave you dear, hard to say good bye to one so new.

Away now I must go, from new born dappled in soft rosy hue,
I pray they will be kind and bring a joy I'll never know.
Your fireman guardian angel will protect and find a home for you.

The station door now lit, no longer hides my tears from view,
Though fragile life started off in painful plan only God could bestow.
I'm so sorry to leave you dear, hard to say good bye to one so new.

The days go by slowly in whispered memory of winds that coldly blew,
and sound of a child's cries, left bereft, a bitter pill to swallow.
Your fireman guardian angel will protect and find a home for you.

I saw you once again on TV with your loving parents who adopted two.
So wonderful they call you Naomi, though loss seemed only a moment ago.
I'm so sorry to leave you dear, hard to say good bye to one so new,
Your fireman guardian angel will protect and find a home for you.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
At fifteen hours old she was the first-ever baby surrendered to a fire station in Orange County. The firefighters at Station 75 in Santa Ana weren't the only ones who were caught off guard when the newborn was dropped off. As Milliot held onto Naomi Wednesday, he expressed how amazing it was to be a part of the little girl's life. "This is one of the few things in my 25 years of being a fireman that it's just the greatest ending of the story, " Milliot said. Naomi is her name.
