Infants Remembered In Silence (IRIS) - Poems

A Moment in Time

By Debbie Dickinson

Time passes,
But not the love I have for you
Nor the ache inside of me
Because you are not.

You were with us for as long as God
allowed.
You were real. You existed. And you
counted.
You were with us only a short time,
But it was time enough to grow to love
you,
For you to make a difference in our lives.

You could not stay
But thoughts of you will forever remain
as does the love this day
tempered by the pain.

Written July 25, 1991, what would have been our first Baby Angel’s 9th birthday.
