Troi I, Gumpy, Fox, Dana, and especially BabyBoy (William) who was on my mind. This is a rearrangement/rewrite of an Alan Jackson song called Remember When (and I hope I'm not breaking any copyright laws here!). Sorry it's long, and apologies if I should have put this elsewhere. I just wanted to share.
To My Rainbow Babies:
Remember when~
You were young, and oh so cute,
and Time stood still~
And love was all I knew~
You were so small, your parents died,
Buried them, and then I cried
Remember when~
Remember when~
You met your mate, and
bonded close,
And gave your hearts~
Made the start, and it was hard~
You lived and learned life through curves,
There was joy and there was hurt
Remember when~
Remember when~
Your parents died, your joeys born,
And life was changed~
Disassembled, rearranged
Life came together, part to part
And you guys stole all our hearts
Remember when~
Remember when~
The sound of joey crabs, was like music;
You loved them and we
Could see the love, built the trust,
Said we'd never give it up
Remember when~
Remember when~
The bridge seemed for the old,
Now, looking back~
It's just a stepping stone
To where we are, where we've been,
And I'd do it all again
Remember when~
Remember when~
I was sad and missing you~
There was moonlight, and a gift just from you;
A Lunar Rainbow in the night
So I'd know you were all right
Remember when~
Remember when~
Though you died and went away,
And hurt so much, now I can say,
I won't be sad, I'll be glad
For the lifetime that you had~
~And I'll remember when...
