Saroya Carter Obituary
Born
Asleep
I never saw your smile or the color of your eyes. I never heard your laughter and I never heard your cries.
You never felt my kisses upon your cheek and nose. Or tickles underneath your chin and on your little toes.
You didn’t hear, "I Love You" and you didn't see me weep, for your spirit left your body and you were born asleep.
But there will come a time when in death, my eyes close too. And I know that when they open I'll awaken there with you.
Love,
Mom and Dad
