Your Memory Box
By Michelle L

Inside this box, baby you will find
Precious memories made with you in mind
You are our first baby and always will be
Forever in our hearts, but not so we can see

Here’s the pregnancy test to show you were true
And there’s the ultrasound with a picture of you
You’re only very small, about 2 centimeters I’d say
We can really see your face as clear as it were day

There’s a little toy dog to always sleep with you
He has a gold pin that says ‘you are special’ too
A few weeks ago I bought your first jumpsuit
It has little farm animals - it’s just so cute

A Certificate says what happened the other day
I just wish the Doctors would have more to say
And mummies hospital tags that make her sad
But there’s Bugs Bunny figurine to make her glad

There’s a photo of our boat and your Dad
He loves you lots you know and he is very sad
He was looking forward to taking you fishing
But now he will go alone and be wishing

A special Guardian Angel to take care of you
It’s a mother and child - I wish you could see it too
There’s a card to you from your daddy and mummy
A sad reminder that you were once in my tummy

Two wishing stones are there with special wishes for you
A wish from us both - we hope they come true
People have sent flowers with ribbons and cards
But I just want you back - this is so hard

Melissa gave us booties and a hat to keep
I bought a small teddy box as a nice treat
Cousin Dillon made a special gift for you
And there’s a poem called ‘I’m a Mother too!’

December 1 is a day for Christmas trees
It is a sad time for daddy and me
1999 is the year you were gone
So you will be with us each Christmas therefrom

In your memory an Angel sits atop our tree
It’s gold wire with beads and a trumpet you’ll see
There’s a real nice train that’s blue, gold and red
We just want you back - but you’re gone instead
