TRIBUTE TO A BABY
My dearest [Baby’s Name],
From the moment you entered our lives, you brought with you a love so deep and profound that it defies time. Your presence, though brief, was like a whisper of heaven, a reminder of love in its purest form. You were small, delicate, and yet, you carried with you an unspoken strength that filled every corner of our hearts.
You may not have spoken a single word, but your existence told a story—one of love, hope, and the beauty of the moments we often take for granted. Your tiny hands, your soft breaths, the way you fit so perfectly in my arms—all of it is etched into my soul, a memory I will carry forever.
Today, as we gather to honour you, we do so not with just sorrow but with immense gratitude for the time we had with you. Though it was far too short, it was filled with love—love that will never fade, love that will continue to grow with each passing day.
Sweet [Baby’s Name], in the little time you were with us, you changed us in ways we never thought possible. You reminded us of the fragility of life and the immeasurable depth of love. Your presence slowed down the world around us, forcing us to cherish every tiny moment—each breath, each touch, each quiet heartbeat.
You brought out the best in everyone around you. You taught us patience, resilience, and above all, unconditional love. Though you were small, your impact was enormous. Those who met you, even for the briefest of moments, were forever touched by your warmth. And even those who never had the chance to hold you in their arms still carry you in their hearts, through the love we shared with them about you.
I see you in every sunrise, in the gentle sway of the trees, in the quiet stillness of the night. You are woven into the very fabric of my soul. Though you are not physically here, you will never be gone. Your love surrounds us, your memory strengthens us, and your spirit lives on in everything we do.
My sweet child, I wish I had more time with you. I wish I could have watched you grow, heard your laughter, seen you take your first steps, and held you through every moment of joy and sorrow. But even in this loss, I know one thing is true: you are loved beyond measure, and that love will never diminish.
I will carry you with me always—in my heart, in my soul, and in every breath I take. You are a part of me, and nothing, not even time, can take that away.
And so, though today we say goodbye, it is not truly farewell. It is a promise—a promise that you will always be remembered, always be cherished, and always be loved.
Poem: “Little Angel”
You were here for just a moment,
But left a lifetime’s love.
A whisper from the heavens,
A gift sent from above.
Your hands so small, your breath so light,
Yet your love shone fierce and bright.
Though time was brief, your love was deep,
A treasure in our hearts to keep.
No footprints in the sand you made,
Yet on our hearts, your mark is laid.
Forever near, forever true,
Our little angel, we love you.
Though our hearts ache with your absence, we find comfort in knowing that love never truly fades. My dearest [Baby’s Name], you were, and always will be, a light in our lives. Your presence, however brief, was profound, and your love will continue to guide us through the days to come.
Rest now, my sweet child, knowing that you were loved beyond words. And as we move forward, we do so with you always in our hearts.
Goodnight, my angel. Until we meet again.
