Infants Remembered In Silence (IRIS) - Poems

I Only Wanted You

They say memories are golden,
well maybe this is true.
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.

A million times I needed you,
a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
you never would have died.

In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
Inside my heart you hold a place,
no one could ever fill.

If tears could build a stairway
and heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven
and bring you home again.

Our family chain is broken
and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.
