Every hour you were with me
and every smile you gave
hold inside a precious memory
I doubt another soul
will ever touch mine so deeply
Never thought a simple calendar
could make tears run so freely
and it's the reasons I cannot fathom
that pain me so, now that you're gone
I feel lost among the echoes
of photographs that call your name
I must stand tall and trust in the thought
God loved you ever so much
he couldn't bear to part with you for long
I believe that you are smiling at me
every day from that cradle on high
as I read stories to your picture on the wall
Sleep well dear Chloe
though you are deeply loved and desperately missed
please know in your heart
you will always and forever be "my little angel".

This is such a heartwarming , touching piece you have dedicated to a beautiful child who is dearly missed....
I know this will touch Cathy's heart and give her beautiful words to hold on to but most of all the warmth of your compassionate heart...

What an amazing and loving poem for Chloe Lane. Your words are just so beautiful. This reminds me of a journal I keep. I call it "Dear Chloe" and I write letters to her when I miss her so much.
Thank you so much for doing this for me and Chloe.
