Sixteen Days (Dear Rachel) |
By Barbara Ruane |
Sixteen days was not enough
for us to watch you grow Sixteen days was not enough for us to let you know how long we waited for you and how we loved you so Sixteen days was not enough to hold your tiny hands and stroke your soft sweet face and gaze into your eyes and see our image gazing back in wonder and surprise Sixteen days was not enough for a little life that fought so hard and was so strong and ended with such strife Though early you were taken from us we want you to know you are our little angel and we love you so So play little angel with your sister and brother in heaven For no matter where we are or where we’ll be we are “all” a family. |
