For my daughter, Courtney Jayne Bentley

(I wrote this poem after loosing my daughter at 22weeks and burying her a couple of weeks later =[)

Mummy and Daddy love you angel,
we know that this much is true.
We know that our minds will always be filled,
with loving thoughts of you.

You bought us so much happiness
and that we shall never regret.
We heard your heartbeat, we felt your kicks
and those we will never forget.

The day that we lost you our world stood still
and thats how it will remain.
But at least you are in a better place now
away from all the suffering and the pain.

Your Daddy loved you this I do know,
as he cried for you that day,
When the doctor said that you were gone,
daddy wanted you to stay.

He would have held you close to him,
and seen your perfect form,
A gift of daddy's love,
would have kept you safe and warm.

We wish that things could be so different,
we wish we still had you here.
We wish that we could hold you close
and keep you held so near.

Our young hearts were broken
our tears fell like rain
We'd never known such heartache,
we'd never known such pain.

Our time together here on earth,
was never meant to be.
God wanted another angel,
an angel from Daddy and me.

That angel was you little princess
as you will always be,
Mummy and Daddy’s little girl,
and the perfect angel you see.

We know as time will come
and of course time will go,
We will always be thinking of you
and letting our love for you show.

Just know our love goes deep and strong
and we'll forget you never.
The child we had, but never had
and yet we will have forever.
