Infants Remembered In Silence (IRIS) - Poems

He’s still my son

If you have never lost a child
You will never know
How important it is for someone
To remember your child
For someone to say
I remember
You will not spare my tears
By saying nothing
Nor will my heart heal faster
For my heart
Will never heal completely
You will never know
How important it is
For me
To speak about my child
Even if his live was ever so brief
I do not want your sympathy
Nor do I need your tears
I have shed enough
I only want to say
He was here
He’s still my son
