Message to our daughter, Molly
Oh, our sweet Molly,
You couldn’t stay very long.
It was only months ago we learned,
There was something inside of you very wrong.
Your mother nurtured your sister and you,
She did the very best that she could do.
Why your twin sister couldn’t stay we’ll never know,
But you stayed strong and continued to grow.
Ethan and Emma watched Mommy’s belly swell,
As mom and dad’s faith and hope for you never fell.
Your space inside continued to get tight,
And we all prayed you’d make it out alright.
We prepared for your arrival the best we could,
Facing an outcome no parent ever should.
When we finally saw you face it was clear,
You brought with you a love that quenched our fear.
Your hour of life has changed all who know your name,
Hearts touched by you will never be the same.
The pain we feel is really the greatest love.
Love is all you ever knew,
And is what you feel as you watch us from above.
