Infants Remembered In Silence (IRIS) - Poems - I can be your light, your hope, your strength

I can be your light, your hope, your strength

Killian Drake

I heard your voice, I heard you sing
I heard your heart beating for me, and I loved you!
I kicked and squirmed and sucked my thumb, I had hiccups
And they made you laugh.
I knew all the plans you had for me, and I loved you!
When I lived with you, I grew and grew into a beautiful, healthy baby.
I waited to see you, and I loved you!
When I lived with you, you named me Killian!
I heard you calling my name, and I loved you!
Mommy, God loved me too, he said I was perfect and pure.
Together with Daddy and you, God created me and asked me to come hom.
I can be your light, your hope, your strength, I will always love you!
Thank you, Mommy, for my life.
Love, Killian
