This is a poem I wrote for Corey the day after I came back to A Ward just after Corey had died. I had this strong urge to write something for him that would reflect how I was feeling. This poem was read at Corey's funeral by our friend Mike who would have been Corey's Godfather had he lived.
Sleep Tight Our Little Angel
I had a little Angel, I held him in my arms.
I wrapped him up in love so tight, to keep him safe from harm.
I held his tiny hand in mine and kissed his precious lips.
Not ever knowing, from this life he would gently slip.
So little time we had to share before the Angels called.
They had a special place prepared for you, my little love.
I raise my eyes to Heaven and I see your pretty face.
Memories locked within my heart, which time cannot erase.
So go to sleep my little one until we meet again.
When, yet once more, I'll hold you tight
In that special place above.
We'll miss you Corey every day
And sometimes shed a tear.
You're always in our hearts and thoughts,
Your memories ever near.
We love you more than words can say
And wanted you so much.
We're honoured to be your Mum and Dad
All of our lives you touched.
Sleep tight Our Little Angel
