At The Garden of Innocence, every baby is honored with an original poem written just for them. 🤍
These poems come from our community — neighbors, friends, and compassionate hearts who want to help honor a life.

We invite you to be part of this tender act of care by writing a poem for a baby who comes to the garden.

Poetry guidelines:
• Poems should celebrate the life of the child
• Please avoid language about abandonment, abortion, or judgment of parents
• Original work only — each poem is written for one baby (can say baby boy or baby girl or be neutral)
• 12 lines or fewer (100 words max)
• Each poem is used once, so every child receives their own
• No haiku-style poetry

Your words help surround each child with dignity, love, and remembrance. 🌱🤍
Thank you for being part of this community.

To submit a poem you can direct message us

Dear Garden of Innocence Family,
Garden of Innocence has been blessed over the years to have your support and participation in our
services since our first burial for Baby Adam on June 19, 1999. I want to personally thank you for your love,
unwavering support and dignity you bring to each service.
Garden of Innocence has also been blessed with approval for a very unique and exclusive opportunity to develop a cremation garden at the entrance of Garden of Innocence. The new garden will be called
Guardians of Innocence.
