As I look over the cot to peep
at my baby princess sound asleep
So beautiful and peaceful she is laying there,
pretty, angelic face and light, soft hair.

I reflect...
as I close my eyes and to Stephen I pray:
"please guard your little sister, night and day"
There I vision him, his face so clear
I know he is listening, I sense he is near
"you're our guardian angel," to him I say
"protect Danielle and keep evil at bay"
"for as long as she has her big brother near,
there is nothing in the world for her to fear."

Then I open my eyes to my tiny, sweet miss
and I lean over quietly to give her a kiss.

My Nieces

Chelsea
4th December 1986 to 16 August 1988

I feel so very helpless, there's nothing I can do,
I'm thinking of a little girl, whom I hardly ever knew.

Dearest sweet Chelsea, all of twenty months old,
You've broken many hearts, left us feeling cold.

Since the mild Summer day in December, when you were born
All you knew was happiness, imparting your smile so warm.

I gaze at your photo and see your cute, cheeky face,
Never to be forgotten and can never be replaced.

I have my own beliefs, comparable to everyone,
You're a tiny angel in heaven, beside my darling son.
