Kayla
We waited so long for when you'd be born,
Never dreaming that when that day came we would mourn.
So tiny, so small, and silently you sleep,
While those who love you, look on you and weep,
Born into heaven, not meant for this life,
A perfect tiny angel, your loss cuts like a knife,
But, little baby remember your parents too
Their hearts ache, they so wanted you,
We will weep a while longer, maybe sometimes inside
For the beautiful girl that shouldn't have died
We will always remember and never forget,
Sleep well little Kayla, you are loved yet.
