Our sweet and wonderful Kristy has such a wonderful way with words.
She sent this to us when Hannah Kate was still in the NICU.
All They Knew was Love
They were not made for this world, not to stay.
Souls on a journey in bodies visiting for a day.
And while their heart beat on this earth,
All they knew was love.
All they knew was the comfort of love’s embrace.
They were not made to feel the sorrows of this place.
We shed tears for them that they would never cry,
For all they knew was love.
Hearts were created for them that were never meant to break,
This life a sweet dream from which only their spirits would wake,
We feel a sadness that they will never know,
Because all they knew was love.
Whispered words of all that is good was all they would ever hear,
No thoughts of worry, of grief, of pain, or of fear,
Blessed to tell them only of all that is wonderful,
And all they knew was love.
We have memories of innocence; they have an eternity of peace
In a moment of serenity, this earth granted its release
And all memories of this life will be sweet,
In memory of Rachel and Leah Skelton.
You were not made for this world, but we feel sorrow at your absence in it. Thank you for the moments of love you granted to us while you were here. We will be ever thankful for the moments shared with you and treasure your memories always, with much love.
