Infants Remembered In Silence (IRIS) - Poems

Why?

By Linda L. Zaborney, Wanamie, Pennsylvania

A baby to bathe
A baby to burp
A baby to change
A baby to wake up to.
An unused tub
Clean Bibs
No diapers
Only my cries.
What happened?
Baby showers
Godparents
Laughter
Baby’s room
Idle gifts
Priests
Empty eyes
A coffin
What happened?
A baby born
Silent, so silent
Crying
Pain
No hugs, No sloppy kisses
“Thou are with me”
I love you
I know what happened.
I just don’t know why?
