Suggestions for a poem please.

My darling friend's baby has passed away aged 4 weeks.

Can anyone suggest a short poem which may be suitable.

Many thanks.

The Hardest Thing

Losing a baby is the hardest thing
That parents will ever bear.
That sense of loss and longing,
Will always linger there.

They dream of things that might have been,
and happy days they would have shared.
They wish they could turn back the hands of time
To tell their child again how deeply they cared.

Time will eventually dim some of the pain
But they'll never forget that child's face or name.
He'll live on in their memories for sure,
And their love for him will be constant and pure.

This was a life that had hardly begun
No time to find your place in the sun
No time to do all you could have done
But we loved you enough for a lifetime.

No time to enjoy the world and its wealth
No time to take life down from the shelf
No time to sing the song of yourself
Though you had enough love for a lifetime.

Those who live long endure sadness and tears
But you'll never suffer the sorrowing years
No betrayal, no anger, no hatred, no fears
Just love , only love , in your lifetime

Gone Too Soon by Mary Yarnall

Little Snowdrop

The world may never notice
If a Snowdrop doesn't bloom,
Or even pause to wonder
If the petals fall too soon.

But every life that ever forms,
Or ever comes to be,
Touches the world in some small way
For all eternity.

The little one we longed for
Was swiftly here and gone.
But the love that was then planted
Is a light that still shines on.

And though our arms are empty,
Our hearts know what to do.
For every beating of our hearts
Says that we love you.
