Rivera, Kayden Preston (Memoriam)
In Loving Memory KAYDEN PRESTON RIVERA February 6, 2004 In a baby castle just
beyond our eye, Our baby plays with angel toys that money cannot buy. Who are
we to wish you back into this world of strife? No, Kayden, play on baby, You
have eternal life. At night when all is silent And sleep forsakes our eyes, We
hear your tiny breathing As you lie by our side. Your little hands caress us
So tenderly and sweet. We'll whisper a prayer and close our eyes And embrace
you in our sleep. Love - Mommy, Daddy, and Rylie
