Infants Remembered In Silence (IRIS) - Poems

Angel, Angel

By Caitlin Reinhart

I see little blinking star lights,
And angels guide those balls of bright.

I wonder if my angel is up there too,
And I’m always thinking of you.

I lay down, I dream of you.

You’re dressed in beautiful white,
And surrounded by a soft glow of light.

And we talk and I listen and learn and watch.

Angel, Angel, can I go with you?
Under the stars above the moon?

Angel, Angel, you said no
Why do you not want me to go?

Angel, Angel, now I see you want me to stay on
Earth…
So you can stay forever with me.

Always guiding, loving, caring-
Never straying far
My Little Angel
