POEMS

READ OUT AT FUNERAL

What words can i use on this very day.

Your were my angel,

But you had to go away.

I cried as i held you tight in my arms,

Bit i knew you were going;

Where you'd never be harmed.

Your tiny hands, your feet too.

That cute belly button,

Was all apart of you.

I remember when you opened you eyes,

You gazed up at me, and i knew your were mine.

That sweet button nose, little ears, and wiggling toes,

All made up, my sweet Caitlyn Rose.

LOVE MUMMY

READ OUT AT "REMEMBERING OUR ANGELS" MEMORIAL

OUR LITTLE ONE

Our dear little Caitlyn,

Sweet little girl whom we never really got to know

It’s hard for us to let you go

We waited and we wanted you

We had so many dreams for you.

We think of smiles we’ll never see

We think of events that will never be

There will be no first steps, and no first teeth

There are only the tears we cry in our own grief.

We planned to take you far and near

We yearned to keep you safe and free from fear

All the things we wished we could do

All the things we wanted to teach you.

It’s hard to understand why you, our baby, died.

We feel so numb right now, many tears we’ve cried

We have so many questions, and no answers seem to come

We tried so hard to save you. Nothing could be done.

It was so hard to say goodbye to you

10 weeks of life was all you knew.

You breaths grew shallow, your heartbeat slowed

We held you close and tight

Then we kissed our sweet little girl goodnight.

Forever in our hearts love Mummy and Daddy and big brother Connor

In Loving Memory of Caitlyn

God saw she was getting tired

And a cure was not to be,

So he put his arms around her

And whispered, "Come with me"

With tearfull eyes we watched her fade away,

Although we loved her dearly

We could not not make her stay.

A golden heart stopped beating

Hard working hands to rest,

God broke our hearts to prove to us

He only takes the best.

YOUR ANGEL CAITLYN

Your Caitlyn now has angels wings,

Up in heaven she now sings.

She is held in her father's arms,

Where she feels no alarms.

Safe and secure, not broken but

whole,

God now keeps your daughter's soul.

Your daughter, your angel, your love,

May yoe see her in heaven above.
