Poem for Kieryn
The teardrops still fall, our hearts remain sad.
Thinking of Kieryn, our wonderful lad.
A beautiful child, so perfect and new,
Our dreams were shattered when we lost you.
We keep our mementos and the memories remain,
But as each day passes we still bear the pain.
You're our sweet little angel, at peace like the doves,
As your first birthday approaches we send you our love.
Cheryl
Kieryn died at 41 weeks in January 2001. He is missed by his older brother Jordyn, and his parents, Cheryl and Andrew.
Cheryl and Andrew have since had another healthy boy, Lochlyn, born in 2002.
