Infants Remembered In Silence (IRIS) - Poems

A Time of Sharing

Lyrics & Music by Tim Clausing

What a time of joy
Will it be a girl or maybe a boy
Choosing names – dreams of
ponytails and backyard baseball
games.

When I close my eyes
I still can hear them telling me
your baby died.
We did our best
We can talk so more – right now
just get some rest.
Pleading no – begging to be told that
isn’t so.

And I’ll share my sorrow with you
It’s OK if we just sit here and cry
Cause for us this is real – It’s
a pain just we can feel.
Hand in hand we’ll help each
other to get by.

My baby is part of me
Don’t tell me that life will be
what it will be.
At least hold my hand
When I cry – don’t shut me
up please try to understand
Help me talk it through – maybe there’ll
be something here for you.

And I’ll share my sorrow with you
It’s OK if we just sit here and cry
Cause for us this is real – It’s
a pain that we can feel.
Hand in hand we’ll help each
other to get by.
