Remember Our Angels
"It's not Goodbye little one,
just Goodnight"


Skyla Elizabeth

Born into Heaven July 21st 1998

At 20 weeks gestation
Due to PROM

I remember her life, Lord
Happy expectations
Soft, gentle kicks
Playful leaps and somersaults
I remember her death, Lord
Her sweet nose
Her eyelids closed forever
Her darling little mouth
I remember her funeral, Lord
Dazed
Disbelieving
Numb
Desperately wanting her back
Lord, I remember the anguish of the early days without her
Sleepless nights and meaningless days
Merging with tears and more tears
Pain and yet more pain
Lord, I remember learning to live without her
Emptyness, darkness, despair
Tears on Mother's day
Hopeless Christmas
And terrible pain on her first Birthday
I remember her STILL, Lord
I realize the enormous impact that her life has had on mine
I know I am a changed person, because of her
I am now aware of the many positive things that she brought to my life
But.........
I would give up all these things,
if only I could have her
and not have to remember her, Lord.
