Infants Remembered In Silence (IRIS) - Poems

Never Alone

In Memoy of Clayton

I feel you in the morning
When at first I awake
Your thought is with me
With each decision I make

You’ve been around forever
Since before the first breath you took
Now I have to go on alone
But for love, I need not look

‘Cause by what you bestowed
In our short time together
Will last in my heart
Forever and ever

Although you’ve left
And now walk above
I’m never alone
I’m wrapped in your love

Enjoy now your reward
Feel peace that your love continues on
What was taught to me, will be taught to mine
‘Cause you live on in me even after you’ve gone.

Read by Lauren, age 14, at our graveside ceremony on Clayton’s First Heavenly Birthday. March 24, 2004
