For Our Harry Hope

Night night sleep tight, our sweet sweet baby
Oh how I wish for what could have been, maybe, maybe, maybe
Hair black or blonde, eyes brown or blue
Who really cares, we only wanted you.


To love you, to feed you, to cuddle you and to play
To watch you grow, and start and end every day
To hold your hand and kiss your bruise
Wait excitedly every day, to hear all your news.


But we'll have to settle for our short special time
And treasured memories of Daddy's and mine
Of your ten tiny toes and tummy so round
How we caressed and kissed you - only perfection to be found.


We are so thankful to have held your tiny hand
To have told you how much we love and miss you, time and time again
We'll take comfort for your life of love, peace and sleep
Although sometimes it hurts to breath as we weep, and weep, and weep.

But we promised you that we'd be strong and yes we'll do our best
For now our little angel, it's time for you to rest
Our beautiful second son Harry Hope Greer
Stay close to your mummy and daddy, for we'll always keep you near.


Please god, don't take any more of my angels.
