Infants Remembered In Silence (IRIS) - Stories

Megan, My Little One

By Margaret Applebee

Megan, my little one; Megan my little one;
You brought us love, you brought us joy;
Your life was a gift from the Lord above.

Megan, my little one; Megan my little one;
You were God’s great gift and we hope you know
How much you meant you your family.

We’ll not forget your sweet, sweet face,
We’ll tell of your strength, your courage and your grace;
And we’ll smile as we think of your welcome home.

We’ll see you again

In Heaven, my Megan.

Megan’s mother wrote this song for Megan and sang it at her funeral service.
