We come together, a gathering of
parents, mourners
To honor our children our loves
For whether your life here was a moment,
hours or years
We remember – and forever
You live
In our hearts
In heaven
Angels
Guardians
Shaping our thoughts and our lives.
We come together, because
forever we’ll remember
Your preciousness, beauty and love.
To acknowledge your lives
Your importance
Our child
Your legacy
Gift and grace.
For had we had a lifetime
We’d love just the same
We remember forever as we
come together today.
Silent prayers, thoughts or tears - we release
Our hearts broken in pain
Pausing now for a moment
Uninterrupted -to express
Those things society would like best left unsaid.
Towards the heavens
our balloons rise
Higher higher they fly
Like butterfly messengers
And Rainbows promise of gold
As we say our goodbyes - again
We’ll come together forever, and remember.
