Poetry or Prayers

[Michelle D-S]

I would like to write a poem or prayer for grieving and bereaved parents.



I learned of this site/service through our local news paper here in Toronto, and was both moved to tears and grateful it exists, all at the same time.



I want to help. I am a writer however – not a photographer. I also lost my first baby, to a miscarriage, and I truly understand the tremendous sense of helplessness and loss that parents feel at the loss of a child.



Parents can personalize their poem or prayer – by sharing with me any information you would like included – and once completed, I will mail it to you on nice paper suitable for framing or inclusion in a special album; or if you prefer, I can email it to you.



The poem/prayer can be what ever you like: an uplifting celebration of a precious yet brief life; or a meaningful goodbye to your baby. Parents can specify what they would prefer.



I would like to create a very special poem/prayer that will be unique – written specifically for your special baby. No individual poem/prayer will be given to more than one family.



Please send me an email if you are interested in personal poem or prayer.

Michelle,
As a writer, you can be of great service to us. We are always in need of short quotes to include with our slideshows. This would be awesome if you could supply some. Like maybe start up your own "Quote a Day" thread???

Tristan was an active boy
He would have loved to climb


He's with our other angels now
All walking in a line


Like six little ducklings
They follow one another


Tristan's in the lead
Of his sisters and his brothers


Thumper was his nickname then
And he's our peanut now


We know he's in good company
With angels in the clouds
