Mary Agnes Stewart, from Dundee, Scotland, born May 1990, fell asleep on May 1990.
Sweet children who we never really got to know It’s hard for us to let you go We waited and we wanted you We had so many dreams for you
We think of smiles we'll never see We think of events that will never be There will be no first steps and no first teeth There only a void and our own grief
We planned to take you to places far and near We yearned to keep you safe and free from fear We hoped to show you much of your new world We wanted to teach you as your lives unfurled
It’s hard to understand why you, our babies, died We feel so numb right now, many tears we’ve cried We have so many questions and no answers seem to come We tried so hard to save you, but nothing could be done
God, we stand before you broken-hearted and ask you to heal these lives that must be parted from these little ones we can no longer hold who will always be a part of us, even when we're old
God, take these children in your loving arms No more can they suffer any harm Bless them always and bless us too Be with us and help us to make it through.
