Infants Remembered In Silence (IRIS) - Poems

Sad December Day

By Debbie Vinette

In loving memory of Sarah Jean, Dec. 10, 1998

My world crashed in around me
on that sad December day.
The day the doctor told me
that you had gone away.

I heard the words he said,
and sat in disbelief.
He must be wrong I thought,
there must be a heartbeat.

But tragically it was true,
You were gone forever from our lives.
The doctor wrote his diagnosis,
those awful words... “fetal demise”.

I’ve never known such devastation,
I’ve never known such pain.
My life has been forever changed
I’ll never be the same.

Four years ago you left me,
how I wish you could have stayed.
My world crashed in around me
on that sad December day.
