A few lines from memorial poem "Remembering You With Gladness":
*Note: This is a poem about a toddler or young son that has passed away.
"When you were born, on that special day
I held you close to me
And joy overflowed from deep in my heart
With a power I'd never conceived
And I knew from that very moment
That you were a gift of love
Sent to bless my life in so many ways
Truly sent from God above
Watching you grow was a privilege
Daily marveling at the changes in you
Finding it hard to contain my excitement
Dreaming of all the future things we'd do
Both wanting time to slow down and speed up
Sometimes wishing a baby you could stay
Other times, wishing the years could move faster
Perhaps in my own selfish way
For I had planned so many things to show you
Things planned for us to do and see
Wanting to give you every experience
That a magical childhood would need
And I loved all the things we did together
To have your sweet shadow following me
I swelled with pride when you called me "Daddy"/"Mommy" (choose one)
Being your father/mother meant so much to me (choose one)
Words couldn't express my joy at your birth
And will never express the loss in my heart
Knowing you've left and returned to Heaven
That it was deemed your time to part
And though I'm not sure how I'll get through this grief
I promise this much...my dearest son/my dearest daughter...to you (choose one)
That I'll remember you each day with gladness
For that is what you'd want me to do
And though such deep sorrow cannot be wished away
It isn't the memory you'd want to leave
No, you'd want me to remember you with gladness ..."
