Riley's Poems
2 little
hands – that will never grip
2 little
legs that no longer kick
A delicate
face that will never cry
And tiny
hands that can’t wave goodbye
2 precious
feet that will never walk
Soft, blue
lips that will never talk
But a
beautiful soul that has gone up above
And left me
with feelings and memories of love
----00 o 00----

I want to
write you this letter, and I will leave
it with you when I say goodbye.
I don’t
understand why you had to go so early,
but I know that is was for the best. You
mean so much to me and always will. I am
scared to meet you, I don’t know
what you’ll look like and I’m
scared to finally let you go. You are
precious and I have lots of memories of
you. The scan shows you sucking your
thumb, and I will always have that video
to watch. I know we’ll meet again
and I know that you will watch over me,
Acacia and Cayleb from Heaven. I wish you
could have been born alive and saved, but
that wasn’t meant to be, so I accept
this. I will always wonder what you would
have looked like, but know that you are a
beautiful angel now.
You know, I
still feel you move inside me, it’s
strange because you’ve already gone,
but I dread not feeling that anymore. I
want you to be acknowledged by my friends
as a permanent part of this family, and I
will make sure that happens. I will
choose a song that will be your song
forever and I will never forget the love
that you gave me from within.
I love you
Riley with all my heart.
Love Mummy
My tiny
little baby, at home where you belong
I wished you
could’ve been with me, too many
things were wrong
I will hold
you near my heart, where you will always
be
But now I
have to let you go - your spirit can be
free
Not sorrow
when I say your name, but happy thoughts
and joy
‘Cause
in my heart you’ll always be my
special little boy
