Infants Remembered In Silence (IRIS) - Poems

Mother’s Thoughts

By Ruth Ann Harnit

In loving memory of John Patrick Harnit September 28, 1994 – September 29, 1994

I am so grateful to the Lord that our son was born on a beautiful, sunny
day. It was raining all week and I prayed our son would come into the
world with sunshine and warmth.
God granted me this.
I prayed that our son would fall asleep in our arms, peacefully, with
no suffering.
God granted me this.
I prayed that our son would be greeted by angels and carried to
heaven. I cradled him in my arms and asked Tracy to turn out the lamp
and open the shades to see the sunrise. As the sunlight filled the room
it shined upon some roses near the windowsill. Each bud had opened
wide and I knew that was the moment the angels carried John’s soul
to heaven.
God granted me this.
