In Memory Of Ciera Dawn Laverdure

The 1st time I saw you I thought how could this be,
Such an angelic baby is a godchild to me.
I was scared to hold you as I thought you would break,
Your mom would always tell me to not be dumb for goodness sake,

And Kevin would have no problem holding you at all,
But you were so tiny that I thought I'd drop you and you'd fall.
But as you got older I knew I would soften,
As I couldn't resist but had to hold you close and more often.

You were so curious and always exploring something new,
Being around you, we could never feel blue.
Your smile so big, beautiful, and bright,
Your laughter would turn our darkness to light.

Your eyes so blue that they twinkled like the sea,
Whenever we would try to change you, you'd squirm away from everyone including me.
Your tongue's, like Will's, would constantly flop out of your mouth,
Sometimes it would be flopped to North, East, West, or South.
Oh I just remembered another memory of you,
It was how much you laughed & smiled when we played peek-a-boo.

These are some memories of you that I have made,
And I will cherish them forever and never let them fade.
You and Will got along like 2 peas in a pod,
Why oh why did you take Ciera away from us God?

What a tragedy we have to face today,
As our little Ciera Dawn was taken away.
When we first heard the news, no one could believe it was true,
How could SIDS happen to such an innocent & beautiful baby like you?
Now you are held in the arms of your grandpas so tight,
Where you will join them as they watch over us day and night.

Sweet Ciera, you will never be forgotten or become a blur,
Because now you are our precious angel that everyone already knew you were.
We will take good care of your mommy, daddy, and big brother Will,
As we know you will too upon the ol' windowsill.
We will remind them to hold their heads high,
For you will be watching them all the time from the sky.

My little godchild I love and miss you so much,
I just wish I could give you one last kiss, hug, or touch.
But I have to stay strong and try not to cry,
As I say see ya later, but definitely not a final goodbye.

We all love you from mom, dad, Will, all Grandma's, me and Uncle Kevin,
And we will see you again when we all go to heaven.
Which is where we will be a family together,
Walking hand in hand in the beautiful sunny weather.

We love you Ciera Dawn Laverdure...your smiling face will never be forgotten and may the twinkle in your eyes shine forever in our hearts.....xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
