A special gift was bestowed upon us after many years of trying
We held her close and loved her more, even though she was crying
A love we never knew had washed over us, and filled us full of joy
She was so small and delicate we knew that she was not a boy
When clouds were dark and grey, and storms they approached
We could see the smile of our little girl which would make them seem remote
She would open her eyes, now and then to hold you in her gaze
Her little face would light up and her features would amaze
Her delicate fingers would encapsulate yours to let you know she was there
To let us know that she was not, wholly in despair
Her limbs were weak but we knew that she was alive
In all hope we had wished, that given time, she would thrive
We knew what little time we had left so we did play
And learnt to treasure every minute of every single day
I would read you your favourite books that mummy had bought
Then peaceful sleep that you had required would soon be sought
We snatched at chances of remembering you with hand prints; we thought would be a must
But there was no need as your smile and memories will always be with us
To others now your care and soul we must trust
If only I was given a chance to swap with my little girl, now that, I would find just
Her life was short and snatched away but we thank the Lord for every day
We were lost for words and did not know what to say, when our princess was taken away
Our little girl, born in March, on the 24th day she will always be in our hearts
We hope, beyond all hope, that this is where her journey starts

Dedicated to our little princess, Rhianna Marie Wright

Written by her Daddy, Michael David Wright

And loved ever so much by her Mummy, Rebecca Ann Wright

May Rhianna rest in peace upon angel's arms and may they rock our little girl to sleep as we once did. |
